I quietly reflected on the events during the national moments of silence, I watched some, but not all, of the reading of the names at ground zero, and my coworkers were kind enough throughout the work day to listen to me reminisce about great times spent with my friend who perished in the WTC. I kept a special photo of her with me all day at work and at home.

No. I avoided them. It took a very long time to get over the anxiety 9/11 created in me. There is no reason for me to re-create that anxiety.

I know things were out there, but I was asleep at the exact times and then I was at work all day.

I didn't encounter any special events, but my local library was closed for the morning so staff could attend the city's memorial service.

I can't drive after dark, but I quietly lit a candle here in the woods, not only for the dead of 9/11 but for all the Americans, British, Afghanis and Iraqis who have died in the last two years.

No, absolutely none. What a shame.

I live less than a hour and a half from Washington, D.C., so there were many events. I did not attend any, however. I did put a flag on my car for the day.

No, just the ones on the evening TV news.
