According to Mckay k, an endo blog reader, there will be an ABC news special on tonight about Dr. Randy Pausch!
I highly recommend tuning in. I also recommend having a box of tissues handy. (I went through plenty during Diane Sawyer's interview with Dr. Pausch several months ago).
See Diane Sawyer talking about Dr. Randy Pausch here:
http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/
I checked the ABC website and it appears this show will air at 10:00 pm tonight. Check your local listings to be sure.
This is a follow-up to the following post: "Sunday, July 27, 2008 A Tribute to Dr. Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture)".
If you get a chance to watch this program tonight, I guarantee it will be worth your time!
Thank you, Mckay k, for making me aware of tonight's special on ABC.
UPDATE:
Here is Randy Pausch's website for more information about pancreatic cancer and his inspirational battle with it. It includes more video clips, including his absolutely riveting testimony before Congress:

A Tribute to Dr. Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture)
On July 25, 2008, a very special man named Dr. Randy Pausch passed on.
His legacy will remain in the hearts and minds of the millions of people he touched around the world.
You may have seen Randy Pausch on Oprah or watched his interview with Diane Sawyer.
Or you may not have had the pleasure of hearing this inspirational man speak about life, living, and dying with dignity and grace.
For those who have not had the privilege of seeing "The Last Lecture", I'm going to include the video of it here. It was posted on YouTube after he made his last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University (where he was a professor) and it since then became well-known around the world.
First there is a brief video clip tribute to Dr. Pausch. Then Dr. Pausch's the "Last Lecture video" is about an hour and 16 minutes.
I assure you that if can set aside the time to watch his lecture it will be well worth your time!
First, here is the tribute video that was posted on YouTube after his death by "khoof7". It was posted on YouTube on July 25, 2008 (running time 1 minute and 20 seconds):
The full video of "The Last Lecture" captured the attention of people around the world. I hope you'll find it as inspirational as I did... and as millions of others around the world have as well.
Here is the description listed on YouTube of the "Last Lecture" video (posted by "carnegiemellonu":
Here is the video of "The Last Lecture". Its running time is 1 hour and 16 minutes and it is worth making time to watch it! It may well change the way you look at your life!!
Clearly, Randy Pausch's story touched many lives and inspired millions of people to live with purpose, to make a positive difference in others' lives, and to have fun while doing it. The legacy he leaves behind for his family is tremendous.
He painstakingly videotaped large amounts of pictures so that his young children will be able to see the videos as they get older and can better understand his life and his death.
Randy's wife was interviewed by Diane Sawyer as well. Jai Pausch's grace and eloquence in the face of such a tragic diagnosis/prognosis was awe-inspiring. Clearly Randy and his wife were soul mates.
He obviously did everything he could to prepare his family for what would happen after he passed on, as anyone who saw the moving interview with Diane Sawyer can attest to.
His bravery, positive attitude in the face of terminal illness, and determination to leave a meaningful legacy for his family (and for the world) will live on.
Randy Pausch made a meaningful, hopeful, positive impact on the world.

The same link as above will take you to video of Randy Pausch delivering the commencement address to the Class of 2008 at Carnegie Mellon University before his death.

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Endometriosis Blog: The Importance of Relaxation To Your Health...
I have found a cool relaxation blog I'd like to share with readers here...
There is so much information available on the Internet that I have been having some trouble focusing and deciding how to spend my time reading the many blogs available that will inform me and help me to write a better blog myself.
There is a blog I have been following that I'd like to highlight today. It is written by Konstantin Koss of Germany.
It's called "Real Relaxation" and is described as a "Portal on Stress Management, Wellness, Massage and whatnot".
Here is the link to the main site:
http://realrelaxation.net/
Also, I'd like to highlight a section on stress management that I found particularly helpful:
http://realrelaxation.net/go/stress-management
Stress management and relaxation are SO important when dealing with chronic illnesses like endometriosis (and fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis... and the list goes on...)!!!
I have found this site especially helpful and have added it to my favorites (see bottom of my homepage). I hope you find it as helpful as I do!
I really think as an endometriosis patient that you will appreciate the tips this blog has to offer.
There's even a funny video clip in the stress management link. :)
So relax and go check it out! :)
Peace!
P.S. After you check this relaxation blog out, please post comments here and let me know what you think!
