What an upbeat guy and inspiration to others. So very sorry to learn of his passing today. RIP. Even though he pretty much knew the odds, he never failed to make light of his own grave situation.

I’m really sorry to hear that, he would captivate an audience; come out on stage do pushup’s to show what condition he was in physically. I saw him recently on a show being interviewed; he lived life to the fullest. We could all learn from him if we took his advice on living. To his family I wish them the best he was one special person.

I thought I would add this link it’s short but very much worth your time.
I hope it’s ok since mrmustang posted Randy Pausch’s passing.

Thanks for posting about Randy Pausch this morning. I have been watching more clips then the one I posted earlier, and if anyone wants to see more there are more to see about this amazing man.

It sure has got me to do some thinking about complaining, and I hope it will do the same for some others on this site. We seem to be pretty good at complaining about things we have no control over. Change the things we can change, and accept the things we cannot.
