Sometimes the combination of time and distance makes thing more poignant. It was true in this case for me, and thus very unexpected. Steve tipped me to a vintage Budweiser commercial, of all things.
Now we both love the Clydesdale horses, and even more so any of their commercials with a puppy added. Neither of us go for the beer. Steve will have a beer once in a blue moon, and his favorite happens to be a different brand. I simply hate ethanol. Period. It involves a long story from college days and a lot of vomiting, so never mind. Just think of it as a one day cure.
This morning Steve tipped me to a commercial on You Tube, with 911 as the theme. He introduced it by telling me they only played it one time, for the 2011 Super Bowl, as a tribute, and not to make money off the tragedy. The horses are hitched to the wagon, do their usual thing, and wind up viewing the New York skyline, minus the two towers. Until then it is an ordinary looking (for Budweiser) beautiful ad. What the horses do at the end still brings unexpected tears even as I write this.
I won't spoil it for you. Go watch it. Please.
