Tasted again February 17, 2012. Revisions: a bit of a lemon tinge; the slightest hint of residual sweetness; the petrol not as apparent to me.

I think you’re right, Trevor. I can imagine a far more prudent American response.

I remember that so clearly. I too knew nothing until we were at work, and had great difficulty finding any information on the net to confirm such an incredible story. When one tiny image of the WTC on fire eventually appeared on cnn.com I remember us all discussing if being in the middle of a North American city right now was safe.

But incredible as it was, over the years I feel like we’ve attached too much weight to that day, and the overreaction to it over the following years was actually far far more significant, and far far worse.

Wow, sounds like an amazing trip, and very clarifying. This section, in particular sounds very powerful:

I’d let my time here in the 90s slip through my fingers, that it was a dream unfulfilled… Looking out at the open Pacific, I tasted that possibility again for a few minutes. I made a vow to myself that I will pursue this, and start on what will become a new course.

Awesome.

I’m happy to report that, having stayed away for a year, I went back to JJ Bean Woodwards this morning and was greeted by a very friendly counter person. Perhaps the owner/manager received other feedback and decided that service makes a difference.
