The Face of Tragedy

Pictured above is the scene of a horrific car accident in Germany (courtesy of Danimal). The depiction of the carnage, and the few survivors scattered among the broken bodies, is a graphic and profound image. I know it's difficult to look at a picture like this, but I hope, as we begin the weekend, that each of us realizes how lucky we are and how fast we can lose everything. I don't usually like to post sentimental thoughts on Fridays, as I don't believe that weekends are the time to dwell on the serious side of life, but this picture really struck a chord with me.

As we count our blessings, let's make sure that we enjoy every day as if it is our last. This weekend, that involves cheering on the Cubs as they open Wrigley Field for 2006 with a three-gamer against the hated Cardinals, trying to get out on the links for the first round of golf of the year, and watching closely to see if anyone can stop Tiger at Augusta.

Have a great weekend everybody. T
