Last lecture

No dog will ever deliver a last lecture at an institution of higher learning.  They just don't get to hold  tenured positions over time.  If they did they may have encountered Randy Pausch and his YouTube video and book, "The Last Lecture."  As a kept-so-far New Year's resolution, the book-a-month year started with a spontaneous purchase of the Pausch book.  While the dogs might have been tempted to hit up the video lecture before reading the book, kind of a Cliff-notes approach to Moby Dick, the book came first, when finished, the lecture would be watched.  Both are powerful and obviously sad, but hold many key points and take-aways.  It's a strong thumbs up to follow book-first, lecture second.  Now batting, Moneyball - the dogs think it's about the balls they play with and how much they cost!
