Reminders of the passing of time


I finally sat down and watched Senna, the recent feature documentary about one of my early heroes – I was avoiding it as his death upset me greatly at the time. However I’m very glad I watched it – It is an uplifting and inspiring film even though, if you know the story (as half the world does) the inevitable tragedy finally arrives. 

The film had some very sobering final words – Senna was two years younger than I am now when he died. I remember watching the grand prix on Sundays as a young boy gripped by his exploits...

As Bob Dylan wrote: May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young...
