Here’s a description of my first trip to New York in the September of 2001.

• September 11 – “I am safe, and unsure what is in store.”
• September 12 – “I’ve just been told that everyone in my company has been accounted for”
• September 13 (also, and also) – “The tide is turning.”
• September 15 – “Talk here is turning to war.”
• September 16 (also) – “Next report, Perth, hopefully.”
• September 19 – “I’m finally back home.”

This story, ‘Sneakers‘, written well after the events, describes some personal connections with NYC which became more significant in hindsight.
