It seems inappropriate to write anything on the Newburyport Political Blog on the anniversary of 9/11.

For me the horrific events of that day and its aftermath put issues and politics in Newburyport, MA in perspective. By comparison, all the things that are discussed on the blog seem manageable.

And I am incredible grateful for everyone in our community. And that we do have such a terrific and caring community in Newburyport, MA.
