a not-so-happy birthday

So, my mom called me yesterday because a gal I had played soccer against in high school and once or twice in college was hit by a car and killed while running in Seattle last weekend. The driver was a 16 year-old girl who drove too fast in the rain and lost control in a turn.

Anyway, today was to be her 27th birthday.

Unexpected things, accidents happen. Go hug your people.
