Since my friend Todd Seavey doesn't have a blog (or at least not the right kind of blog), I'm taking the liberty of posting here an e-mail he sent around yesterday:
As some of you know, I live on York Ave. in Manhattan just six blocks north of the spot where Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle's plane crashed, so I feel I ought to say something to make sense of it all: Remember, tragic though this evening's events were, if we let them distract us from the normal business of America -- working, playing, worrying about terrorism, loving, learning -- then the Yankees will have won.
