    '88 here. 9/11 sits at such a clear demarcation line for us. Happened in 8th grade where you’re still straddling the fence that’s childhood, while still capable of grasping the enormity of what was unfolding.

    Though I also grew up in the rust belt, so there was always the sense that you were riding a wave that had long since crested.
