If you are struggling to make heads or tails from all of the rumors that are circulating about the WTC attack, as I am, then you might find the following page to be illuminating.

Someone finally neuters Nostradamus.

Thank God.

First things first, due to AOL's Security Measures against spamming, I have had to restructure my personal email list. So, if you receive duplicates of this email, let me know. I might have placed you in two separate groups. Ah, what a pain in the ass.

Second, some of you good folks have written me and asked me if I was going to address the WTC tragedy in a mass email. While I appreciate your kind thoughts, the truth is, I am just as angry and shocked as you are. I feel that I have nothing new to contribute to what you are feeling or thinking. But, I have a friend, Dave McBride, who is an excellent writer and you can find his intelligent, insightful thoughts on this tragedy at his website. I encourage you to check out www.davemcbride.com and click on his notepad for his thoughts on this new world that we have all found ourselves in.

Now, to my true reason for emailing you guys.

My lovely friend, Lucia sent this to me. It's the web address to a website where you can write a message to accompany a teddy bear that will be given to one of the recently orphaned children, from the WTC attack. I went to the website and checked it out. It's completely free and they require no personal information at all, so you are safe from the cyber thugs that are out there.
I have no doubt that all of you creative, aspiring writers and actors and other loud people will have an easy time composing some soothing words for a child that might be hurting a lot right now. I made a police man bear. Which one will you make?
Here's Lucia's original message, from the email that she sent me.


You can go to this site and send a bear to the children of those who perished in this tragic event. It will not cost you anything. Vermont Teddy Bear is donating the bears to the children.

So, that's all from Me and My Beautiful City. If I find anything else that's interesting or worth mentioning, I will write again soon.

Be well,
Take care of you and yours,
Write Often.
