Friday the 13th

[Tim Y]

Tough day sometimes for me as my father died this date a few years back. He had a long life (89) did not suffer longer than an hour or two in the ER at the end, was not senile and both my sister and I were with him when he passed peacefully. Nice guy, was strong on scholarship and was an expert on the US Cavalry. He instilled two qualities in me at a young age: love of horses and history. Sometimes I forget and call "home" where my sister now lives with her husband and forget and ask to speak to him.....

Funny took him to Hollywood Park in the 70's on a week day. The crowd was not huge but it certainly was not small. "Where do all these people work?" he asked me. "They don't Dad."

So in the opener at AQU the seven looks hard to beat
