The Last Lecture - A Must See

Post by rescuefire » Wed Apr 09, 2008 12:55 pm

Tonight at 10pm USA Eastern time on ABC, Primetime is the show.

It's a must see show. Set your VCR's, DVD recorders or Tivo and record and watch this show.

Excellent!

I'm glad you posted that Robyn. I had read about him in Sunday's Parade section and meant to go check it out, but of course been busy again with real life and forgot. But I will defineatly check it out. It was such an inspiring story and such a sad one.

here's a link also from Parade, you can watch his last lecture here.

Yep I watched his 'Last Lecture' on Google Videos...all hour and 44 minutes of it and really enjoyed it. He's a remarkable man.

I also downloaded his (along with many others) Alice program. Amazing! I'm going to try and learn it and teach it to Tyler. Just amazing :shock:

That Alice program looks pretty interesting, I'm no good at that stuff. Popo might be interested since it is a 3D program and she's so good at those models of hers.

I'm going to record Primetime tonight. I'm usually in bed by 10 pm since I get up so early., I'll watch it this weekend. I'm fixing to call Waldenbooks and see if they have his book in stock and if not if they can order it for me. Might pick up an extra copy for a good friend of mine.

Yeah, I saw this on Oprah, very inspiring, and sad as well, yet surprisingly hopeful. Definately should watch this, I agree.

I'll just go by the book store, I called and they have plenty in stock. There's another book I want also and I'm always getting coupons and plus theirs the rewards club. Besides look what I'll save without having to pay for shipping.

I haven't watched Oprah in years. I'm impressed Deetster.

Well, lol, to be fair my sister was watching it, and waited for a rerun and told me I had to watch.

But yes, I'll admit, Oprah sometimes has some very interesting stuff to watch. :lol:
