I saw his lecture several months ago. What an incredible man.

Level -> RE: The Last Lecture (4/8/2008 6:59:36 PM)
I agree; he's going through a horrific experience, with such grace, and good humor. [:)]

Level -> RE: The Last Lecture (4/9/2008 7:03:38 PM)
This is on now, on ABC.

He seems to be, holly. Brave and sad.

When you're going to go, I can't think of a better way than to go out in style. I've seen more healthy people with much less optimisim on life than this guy. What gives?

I guess its genes. He had a bad one, as far as the cancer goes, but he struck it rich in other ways.

I liked what he said about how his family will soon be tossed off a cliff (when he dies) and he can either roll up in a ball or cry or get busy working on their safety nets, so he decided to get busy building the nets. They seem like a family who has it together. It's a sad, yet uplifting story.

Level -> RE: The Last Lecture (4/10/2008 5:13:36 AM)
Absolutely, Katy. He's making the most of his time, and has a good heart.

Life Insurance will cover all that and still leave my family well off.

-- childlike dreams. when I was a kid I always was building a treehouse, exploring the woods, gardening. but seems -- many dont have specific dreams. that type of cancer is fatal. i know someone who went fast. one ponders is it better to know WHEN you will die? a dog has no idea that it will ever die. so if you were a kid- what would you be doing on a summer day?

FangsNfeet -> RE: The Last Lecture (4/11/2008 10:17:55 PM)
Licking ice cream down to the last drop on the inside of a cone. On a side note, dogs do know when death is near. I've had more than enough in my family to figure that one.
