Surreally enough, the 2001 September 11 attacks occurred
exactly 392 years after Henry Hudson[1565-1611]'s European "discovery" of Manhattan. A tough birthday to have, these days, for anyone, including
O. Henry (William Sydney Porter, 1862-1910 -- the first and last of these subjects memorialized in
12 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 60
and
The Cop and the Anthem, Op. 198).
Only the former is in mind, on an iffy 192nd day of summer, high back up 11 to 96 (92 at our destination), as we proceed to
Davis
