Turned 41 today.   I was really looking forward to the Indy car race.   Last of the season and the championship on the line.  Lap 12 a major crash and a death, that of Dan Wheldon, and I don’t have much to write.  Horrific outcome and my heart is breaking for his wife and 2 young sons who will grow up without their father nor will they know or remember him.   That hit a bit too close to home on my 41st birthday (my father passed away when he was 41 and I was only a bit past 3.  I have no memory of him.).

RIP Dan Wheldon.   You will be missed.
