John Challis



As WHYGAVS, named it, this is a reality post, not the usual around here.

But the news that John Challis died today is worth mentioning. A few weeks ago, it was Randy Pausch, now John. John impacted a lot of people and had the foresight and caring to set up a foundation to help others who may be in his situation: www.courageforlifefoundation.org.

Exactly one year ago today, I was diagnosed with leukemia, so the news hit home. All is looking good for me and I wish John and Randy and all who are stricken were as healthy as I seem to be today.

It's times and circumstances like these that make me glad there is another game tonight at 8 and another tomorrow to take my mind off reality. It can be too harsh.
