So it really has been a while since we have posted anything on here but oh well we have been busy!!!
Tonight Kasie and I watched this thing on tv, it was dateline or something like that, the interesting shows. They were featuring this mans life, Randy Pausch. He learned he obtained pancreatic cancer and had three months to live. He was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and was asked to give his last lecture, as a large measure of influential professors are asked to do when they retire or leave. Randy's last lecture was very inspiring and uplifting. He also published a book about life and lessons learned and taught. The very few bits of the lecture that we heard on this special were very inspiring and touching. They followed him around in his life for bits for the show and he talked a lot about other things which was also cool. He passed away last friday, and this was his tribute.
I really wanted to read his whole book, so i looked it up online and found the book and also video feed of his lecture. check it out, you will learn something. http://www.thelastlecture.com/index.htm
