Where Were You?

Where were you, when they built that ladder to heaven?
~Cartoon Alan Jackson

My root canals were denied, again! Joe handed me the letter this morning. That's a pretty bad way to wake up. Speaking of bad ways to wake up, it's 9/11.

Question, today is a holiday of sorts. Correct?

Do you say "Happy September 11th"?

I say happy 4th of July, Cinco De Mayo, or I'd say Happy Bastille Day if we were French.

How do you convey a sense of, "Hey, it's September 11th, remember all that bad shit that happened? Well, I just wanted to say, have a happy 9/11."

What is appropriate?
