Some Tuesday Reads and Such

Famous jockey Ron Turcotte remembers Secretariat in this linked interview from earlier this month.

I am currently reading a book about him and his family called The Turcottes.

A tragedy to note:  Officials have confirmed that actor Julian Sands, missing since January when he went on a hike  in the Mt.Baldy area of California, did indeed die there as his remains were identified as his.

His breakout role was in the 1985 film, Room With a View.
