OT - but a great story
I've mentioned that my wife is a volunteer for Make-A-Wish foundation. Here's a link to a short video showing a wish she arranged for a local kid who is a big fan of NASCAR. The kid and his family went to Portland International Raceway today, met a bunch of drivers and got to ride in a race car. She also got a trophy donated to him engraved with his name and the quote "Official Honorary NASCAR Driver".

Unfortunately, four days after receiving his wish, Alec passed away. There's going to be a fund raising walk and run in a few weeks to raise money for his medical bills and to also help cancer research. His mom has cancer.
We're just glad he had a chance to fulfill his wish.
