A Man Most Important
So a while back, while glancing at the news sites (which I do from time to time) and ending up over on the ABCNews.com website, I found this little article about a man named Randy Pausch. He was a 47 year old father of three, who was a professor at Carnagie Mellon University. He was also terminally ill, dying of cancer. Now at first I was very sad - looking at someone who was obviously in the prime of his life die of such a horrendous disease, and that always makes me question why the world is the way it is.
Then I heard the lectures that ABC had posted on their website and I don't think I've ever encountered anyone more realistic and smitten with life as he was. It was a beautiful, emotional, funny experience and though I had to "go" half hour into the first lecture video, I ended up watching it in it's entirety. I think it was a three hour lecture?
This man was absolutely awe inspiring with the zest for life and laughter he seemed to have.
Anyway, he passed away on July 25th and wherever he is, I am sure he is laughing and smiling and blessing all those around him.
So you don't have to find it, in case you are wondering who this wonderful man is...I'm going to re-post the videos here.
And make sure you watch the videos in their entirety. His life lessons are absolute and wonderful.
So there you have it. I'll post more when I'm not doing some computer related things.
Sometimes, life is very confusing.

So that should be like the twelfth of never, huh? ;)

Miss V is good. We're going to see Bernadette Peters sing with the San Francisco Symphony tonight. I'm very excited. :D
