Let me start by saying that I think the name of this museum sounds boring, too. I only found out that it was awesome because I was already in the neighborhood for something called 'Ice Derby,' which is a much better name but had unbeknownst to me been rescheduled.

Every year when 9/11 comes around I find myself day dreaming a lot, it's like I'm in second grade all over again just sitting there motionless and wishing I had the power to redo that day over again and be a real American Hero and save everyone. You know, like that book 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'. 9/11 is the day I lost my innocence. I thought this would never happen here, surely not in America the greatest country in the universe.
