Somebody on my friends list posted about 9/11. I typed up an entire comment about my experience then, and didn't realize until now that parts of it the historical present. My favorite parts. NOBODY uses the historical present, but it seems my natural storytelling rhythm, much though I try to avoid it.

Interesting.

Tense shifts were my biggest problem in high school English composition. I mastered them with the help of Mister Peter LeMay.
