There were several 9/11 memorial events today and the annual Tribute in Lights is going on right now. We can see the two beams of light from the WTC site from our apartment window. It was unusually quiet on the subway this morning as people seemed to hold their own moment of silence.
Today also marks the opening of the Service Nation Presidential Forum held at Columbia. Obama and McCain are taking the stage together in a non-partisan discussion about the importance of national service/volunteering. 100 lucky students won tickets through a campus lottery (15,000 students signed up). I entered, since I am technically part of the School of Continuing Ed, but no such luck for me. Instead, we are watching on CNN.
