Nathan hasn’t seen much television in his nearly three years of his life, and he pretty much thinks that about all you see on the box is car racing. And no matter what type of car racing is on, Mark Webber will be racing. He has to be one of Mr. Webber’s youngest fans.

When we were at the polling booth on Saturday, Andrew asked Nathan who he was going to vote for. Nathan thought for a short time and then declared “Mark Webber!”. In the supermarket Nathan has occasionally pointed out to me a photo of Mark Webber in his formula 1 car on the Red Bull six-packs.

So we decided to take Nathan to Angus and Robertson in the city today to meet Mark Webber at his book signing. We got there 40 minutes before the man was supposed to arrive, and already the line was more than a block long. I baulked at the idea of trying to entertain two restless children on the street while in line for about an hour, so we went to look at the kids books and got a glimpse of Mark Webber through a pane of glass after he arrived. And you know what? That was exciting for Nathan.
