The thing about historical anniversaries is, not that there's just one thing, that it feels like... one has to say something worthy of the day, or not at all.

I talk as much as anyone, when I feel like I have something to say, but on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina I had nothing to say that people either didn't know or still steadfastly refuse to believe. Today, with a big blue sky overhead, what can I possibly say that's big enough?

Another thing about historical anniversaries, not that of course there's only one thing, is that as a friend pointed out to me, something happened on every day. A couple years ago a friend of mine and the school newspaper both pointed out that the Chilean coup that brought the notorious military regime to power happened on September 11th; in today's paper it was noted that Gandhi formally began his work on this date (I wish I had managed to keep the article, to type particulars).

I had more to say, but the workday began. And that happens every day, too.
