[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Recently a local Denver station played a two hour movie of the life of 
Helen Keller.  Well, shoot, I've been to the school for the blind so 
how could I not know about Helen Keller?  The movie was almost as bad 
as watching 2001, you know, Arther C. Clark's thing?  I mean, Helen 
couldn't talk throughout the whole movie.  The movie, however, was 
still pretty emotional and since I'm kind of emotional, I called up the 
library for the blind and found they only have a single cassette book, 
and a single cassette at that, on Helen Keller.  I said, well, send it 
to me then.  I hate to admit this but I honestly shed a few tears 
reading that little book.  Helen was an unbelievable person.  I wanted 
to recommend you consider reading it sometime soon.  Warning!  Reading 
those kinds of stories make you feel kind of guilty that you just aint 
doing all you can and should but it'll be good for you; at least it 
was for me.
Phil.
