The Last Lecture

I'm guessing many may have already seen this, but if you haven't, it is definitely worth the time to watch. Inspiring.
I'm proud to say that I had the opportunity to get to know Randy.



Don't know that it necessarily belongs here, but I thought WTF.

Yeah, kind'a sucks the cat that co-authored the book just died the other day in a car accident up in Michigan. Names was Jeff Zaslow. Now there was a guy with passion. Perfect guy to write about Randy.

The Professor's Manifesto: What It Meant to Readers - WSJ.com

I can deal with just about any amount of human tragedy where adults are concerned, and function just fine, but when little kids get hurt or loose a parent, it just undoes me. Randy and Jeff both left three kids behind.
It's like Lewis Black joked, "the good die young, and pricks live forever."

I should easily see a hundred.
