It would be very appropriate that we all should remember the events of Sept.11 at monthly intervals.
but bill, then we'd need yet another term for it -- The notion that it meant a commemoration recurring every month is baseless.

Thank you for that report from "Ground Zero" (or should I say from the proximity of "Ground Zero"). I didn't realize that the physical effects are so pronounced a month later. BTW, what do you think of the term "Ground Zero" which has been used consistently since September 11th to describe the site of the attack on the Twin Towers?

Excellent post, RousP. I was interested by the use, more than once, of dirige. The Dirige in the Sarum Use (the form of the Latin mass used in pre-Reformation England) was a psalm (I forget which one and am too lazy to go get a book that would tell me) which was chanted or sung, to a solemn tune, at a funeral mass. Hence, the word dirge, meaning a slow and solemn or sad piece of music.
