As you all know, since '03 much of my life has been spent dealing with end of life issues. It now continues with my father-in-law. Yesterday I heard about "this speech." "This speech about what you would say if you knew you were dying." As it turned out it was a speech given by Dr. Randy Pausch a professor at Carnegie Mellon. He has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (what my father died from in '03) and has just a few months left. He finished up his career with a final lecture given on Sept. 18th. Dr. Pausch is the creator of Building Virtual Worlds at Carnegie Mellon and is the co-founder of Entertainment Technology Center. I would encourage each of you to listen to his speech. It is quite remarkable. It also encourages (at least it did for me) to consider what I would say.

Very good. Thanks Cindy. I also lost a parent, my mother, to pancreatic cancer.
I loved the direction to enable the dreams of others.
