The Boy & The Girl: The Abridged Edition

nobody@vox.com(Jesse Gardner) — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 14:53:23 -0800

When Jessica and I got engaged, I wrote a rather lengthy, sentimental account of our story up to that point entitled The Boy & The Girl. Well, there’s nothing overly nostalgic about a 24th birthday or the two-year, five-month and three week anniversary of our wedding; so I decided to celebrate Jessica’s birthday by creating an abridged version.

Twittering Isn't Just For Pansies

Now, lest you all, upon seeing “Jesse is twittering:” in my Facebook status, think that I’m “giggling nervously” or “tittering” all the time, allow me to explain.

QotD: Reflecting on September 11th

nobody@vox.com(Jesse Gardner) — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:20:42 -0700

Hard to believe it was five years ago today.

I was in my second year of teaching, leaning up against my desk waiting for students to filter in for our English class. The librarian poked her head in and told me to turn on the radio, that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I was a news junkie, so I turned on AM 770—"from the heart of midtown Manhattan". The students were goofing off as students do, but I largely ignored them. As I listened my blood ran cold.

What a strange situation, standing up there, myself afraid with all of those eyes on me. What's happening they wanted to know. I tried to explain, but when you're afraid everything seems bigger and harder to wrap your mind around. Someone wheeled in a television set and we watched the towers fall. We got reprimanded at the end of the day for letting the kids watch tv and listen to the radio. We could have scared them, we were told. Yeah, welcome to the world. Some of the student's parents worked there. I was shaken. They were shaken. We were shaken.

Five years ago today, I wrote down my fears.
