The museum sits at a level at the base of the buildings. They got down to these “box columns” made of heavy steel, meant to last lifetimes at the level of the bedrock foundation. The workers sheared most of them to the ground, leaving a visible marker for the footprint of both towers. (Those footprints encircle the areas with collections & exhibits.) But here you can see one of the box columns as it survived. 9/11 Memorial & Museum

Got tickets to Jimmy Fallon’s monologue rehearsal!
In a total “study in contrasts,” after spending the morning at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, we went to Midtown to see Jimmy Fallon rehearse his monologue.
Rockefeller Center is full of amazing details & art.

I write. I design. I read and think. I teach. I talk to people -- all kinds of people. My career journey includes working as a librarian, teaching for over a decade, working in higher education, freelancing as a graphic designer and marketing consultant, and earning a doctorate (as of 2022). My dream job would cross-pollinate the skills of barista and consultant, helping individuals and organizations understand the problems they face, ask better questions, and design solutions that work in their contexts. My research interests include improving STEM education in college classrooms, Design Thinking and human-centered design, relational and collective theories of leadership, knowledge life cycles within organizations, and faculty development. Somewhere back in time, my students started calling me "RameyLady" and the name stuck.
