Thanks for taking over for me, Dave. Sorry it had to be such a sad
report. I managed to get on one of the computers at work long
enough to see what had happened, and my heart broke. I used to be
a SERIOUS fan of NASCAR racing, but lost a great deal of my
enthusiasm after the deaths of Adam Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and
others over the past couple of seasons. Yes, there have been riders
that have died in bike racing-- but spectators? And a child? Even if
Lance wins, I'm afraid I will not be able to fully celebrate this one,
knowing that a little boy died trying to get closer to people he
probably saw as heroes. And the tragic irony is that the car that hit
him was the team car for the Haribo team-- a team sponsored by a
candy company.
A moment of silence.

Well, I don't know if I can fill your shoes, and frankly, I don't know if I
have enough of interest to say-- but I'll do my best. Just keep an
eye on the forums from time to time, and let ME know if you thinkI
should be spending more time working on my game and less of it
here.
