Frank,
I can't say I've had the most charmed life, but I've always had a love for life. I mostly considered myself happy. I seem to have lost some of that lately. Maybe it is because of MS or something else, maybe simply a dwindling of hope as I age. I appreciated these. Gave me a few things to mull over....

Thanks,
Terry

Great videos, Frank. This is one of my favorites. It's a talk by a brain scientist who had a stroke and she was able to observe what was happening during the stroke. Pretty amazing stuff:

Just a little more info on Randy Pausch--I think he died about a month ago of pancreatic cancer. He left a wife and 3 young children.

He certainly must be admired! I wish I could deal with my adversity of MS as bravely as he dealt with his!
