Not only concerning this disaster, I am not comfortable about making date something like a code for an event, as in 3/11. By encoding it, it feels to me as if the event is blank. For me, it feels more right to remember, or occasionally recall, a particular person's feeling at a particular moment, rather than the date. That's the view I want to maintain.
