I've had no special desire to visit the 911 Memorial. I didn't think anything could make as great an impact on me as what I saw at Ground Zero a few days after the attacks: the ash, the smoke still rising from the rubble, the smiling faces of loved ones posted on telephone poles, on trees, on gates.
The smell.
But as often happens when visitors have on their itinerary a landmark you live near but rarely if ever visit, I went to the site yesterday.
I'm a word guy. But with this, I'm not even going to try.
