Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

I was watching tv last night before I went to sleep. I stopped at an interview with Diane Sawyer and a university professor. He is a father of 3 small children who is very popular at Carnegie Mellon. He is also dying of cancer. He gave a speech entitled "Last Lecture." I have 0nly seen some of the clips, but I plan to watch it very soon. (There is a link at from his site.) His book, based on the lecture, was just released this week.

He is very thought-provoking and his outlook on life (and death) is amazing....

And I thought I was having a bad day!

Grandparents' Weekend

We flew to Arizona this weekend for a little family time. I left Thursday and took a shuttle to Camp Verde. Wade flew out Friday night and drove to the Starrs. Then Aunt Bev was nice enough to drive me to Congress on Saturday. Gramma and Grampa Baker even came along for the ride. We left Sunday evening after a beautiful desert sunset. I miss it already!

It was perfect golf cart and front porch weather!

Wade also kept lizard watch in an Amish hat....
