I was sad just now to read that Randy Pausch, the Author of The Last Lecture died this morning after his battle with cancer. His book really had an impact on me, as it did on many. I have told several people today that I felt grumpy - perhaps I need to think of what he said in face of fatal cancer and I might be less of a grump!
A quote from his book: "Never underestimate the importance of having fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day because there's no other way to play it."

Jen just told me this news. I was sad too. What an amazing impact he had. It is a choice to live fully, not letting roadblocks be obstacles.
Yours is the second blog to make referrence to this man. I've got to find a copy of this book!
Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier today. As to the hair comment...I'm still thinking, because I know it will happen again 9(and again and again and again). Sigh.
What a wonderful story. In many ways I compare it to my sisters battle with the big C. She has always tried to keep a smiling cheerful face and does not complain.

Saw today on the View that this is going to be on Primetime tonight at 9 or 10. It looked interesting.

So sad. He was truly an inspiration.
