A Change In Mood

All day I've been thinking about cheeseburgers and how badly I want one. I was all prepared to write a silly little post about my craving versus my willpower, blah, blah, blah. And then I just found out that Randy Pausch passed away today and my heart is no longer concerned with junk food. I'd only read Randy's book a few weeks ago but his website was one I checked on daily. When he hadn't posted in a month, I knew that things must be sliding quickly downhill. Still, I am saddened beyond expectation at the news. I don't think you can be a parent and listen to or read his words without wanting to become a better person for your children. His 3 kids and his wife are in my thoughts today. I hope what is sure to be a huge outpouring of love for Randy and his family in the next few days gives them comfort and helps them realize the amazing legacy he has left behind for them.
