On July 25, 2008, Randy Pausch lost his battle to pancreatic cancer. He had a moving, inspirational, endearing appeal to live life in the fullest and mark our triumphs, our failures, our joys and our loves. I was moved by his speech entitled "The Last Lecture." http://www.thelastlecture.com/
Brett Favre was traded to the New York Jets yesterday. The Packers said, "they owe him, " obviously not enough to keep him.
The US Olympic men's basketball team plays this weekend against the host country China. I sure hope they win.
Work has been so busy that I feel like I'm starting each day on a treadmill that's already moving - kind of like the underwater current Crush sailed through in Finding Nemo.
I think that I have tendinitis in my knee.
I am happy to hear that some of my friends are emboldened to try new things. I pray they reap good rewards in their ventures into newness.
I liked Superman: Doomsday and Justice League, The New Frontier. I'll pass on Batman: Gotham Knights, I'm hoping Wonder Woman will be better.

The Alchemist is my favorite book and I don't even own a copy, but I definitely recommend it:

The radio said that it would be a hot one today, I cannot wait for Fall.
As I get ready to begin my day, I'm reminded of something Jay Leno said, "You cannot be mad at somebody who makes you laugh - it's as simple as that." So today, I choose to laugh, to smile and walk with a belief in the hope that comes from knowing whose I am and where I'm going.
