Anyone interested:
I got the below e-mail from a friend of mine that is an active fund raiser for Leukemia research. Even though this is not a Leukemia related story it is about a man dealing with a grim prognosis and rapidly deteriorating health (pancreatic cancer). Randy Pausch is a Computer-Science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Far from "depressing" this should prove to be an inspirational show about quality of life and what should be important to us during our short time here. It may just be a "perspective changing" lecture with positive implications for the rest of your life... Worth 60 minutes of your time? __________________________________________________ ______________________ ____________________ I just learned of the Randy Pausch story (see attached weblinks)...maybe some of you saw him on Oprah. I did not. But I'm going to watch his story on Wed night. If I can figure out my comcast dvr, I will record it too. Make sure to watch "The Last Lecture: A Love Story For Your Life" on ABC Wednesday April 9th, 10pm/9 CST. To read the full story of Randy Pausch click on: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3633945&page=1 and to read his blog http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/

It is a very inspirational story. The man is amazing! The Oprah Show had him on for a full hour, many months ago. He re-read his last lecture. Well worth watching!
