Got an hour-plus? Ready to laugh and (maybe) cry? Watch this (click link).

I’m not one to send around cheesy and/or “inspirational” videos or e-mails… unless I wrote them… Having hedged, I’m posting this because I have been meaning to mention it in one of my cancer e-mails and forgotten about four times. It’s awesome, and combines several of my core extracurricular interests: high-end computer stuff, the joy of learning, public speechifying, and, (obviously) cancer. I have heard a lot of speeches over the years, and this easily makes the top 3 or 4, lifetime.

PS - there are shortened versions on various websites. Don’t compromise. Watch the whole thing, wait until you’re in the mood, or don’t watch it at all.
