The day I saw the towers fall, I never thought I'd plant wine grapes in their place. I'd been called for jury duty and... I turned to look back south and saw Tower One fall in real time. I went inside and checked the 'not guilty' box on the parking ticket and on its back wrote for the first time, 'due to the events of September 11th...' Then I poured myself a tall glass of Burgundy, turned on the television and watched the other tower fall.
If the towers were still standing today, they would cast an afternoon shadow over my garden and growing wine grapes would have been impossible. But the towers are gone and my partner Esther is here and these things have made all the difference.
