It was actually just around midnight Eastern as the 8th turned to the 9th that we got the news. I'm not going to retype everything here, just post a link to what I wrote five years ago. Link to that post.

It all reverberates more on me right now, for convoluted reasons I can't go into at this time. But it's been on my mind for at least the last 12 hours, so I wanted to mention that here now.

Hail the Traveller.

I was in college. Coming so soon after John Bonham, another of my musical influences, the senselessness of it really reverberated.

I wore all black, covered my head, and said kaddish, the first time I'd done that for anyone.
