Heroes: Randy Pausch

Here's a message from my hero.  Randy Pausch, on life.  He was a Carnegie Mellon professor and imagineer who had pancreatic cancer and passed away July 25th.  The same nasty and underfunded disease Patrick Swayze was just diagnosed with.  He gave his final lecture on Achieving Your Childhood Dreams and it took off on YouTube (5.85m views to date) making him somewhat of a celebrity.  He was on  Oprah, Good Morning America and TIME.   Randy says, let yours kids paint their bedrooms, and asks, are you a tigger or an eeyore?  Do you ask people, 'how can I make it right,' after apologising?  The main message overall, 'if you lead your life the right way, the dreams will come to you.'

I also feel so lucky to have met someone whose happiness is more important to me than mine.  She's keeping Alexandra company, tucked up at Motol hospital.  This is an important day today, because Alexandra learned to eat, Irena started to lactate...so we're happy.  Alexandra had her first 'meal' since Saturday midday this evening and will start putting weight on now.
