As we dealt with the grief and horror of September 11, one theme I heard repeatedly from all sides was this: do what you were going to anyway. If you cower, if you let the terrorists kill the things that make life worth living, they have already won. So, in spite of the fact that Dad McMains wouldn’t be able to make the trip to Las Vegas we had planned around his now-cancelled conference, Ross, Ben, Chris and I all decided to follow through on our long-planned trip.
