:::9/11 anxiety

lucy is gonna try to come home this tuesday. her brother will be accompanying her to help with tony but is gonna try to fly back that same evening. jitters are up on account of it being the day before 9/11. he told me how he's noticed security getting tighter at midway (i assume it's the same everywhere).


i reminded lucy that last year sept 11 was on a tuesday (normally the least busiest for airlines) and that all those planes were california-bound (three were headed for lax). her family is also justifiably aprehensive about her flying out here that day. they're asking her to wait another week. even her sister was enticing her to stay- offering to treat her to a day at great america! her prima wants her to attend her baby's birthday party. they're all trying to stop her from leaving chicago the day before the 9/11 anniversary.


perhaps that would be a wiser choice. or perhaps it's giving in to terrorists.
