This blog by me for me. It is a library of notes that I take and keep while reading books, browsing and searching the internet, talking with friends, and more. If you decide that you want to read them, enjoy. If you have comments feel free to add them, but remember these were written for my use!

TED talk for the kids - 3
I did a summary presentation of today's TED talk for my oldest daughter and spouse. The talk was by Charity Tillemann-Dick. Her story was that she had a two-lung transplant, which is uncommon, but for her it impacted her talent (and job) as an opera singer. She talked in a way that sounded like gasping, but she was active and engaging. The part of her story that I wanted my daughter to hear is how she overcame odds to sing again. Quite uplifting story. I didn't share this in its entirety because her descriptions of her illness and her operations were quite graphic - enough, I believe, to cause my youngest daughter bad dreams. So they got the abridged version from my and then they saw the final few minutes of the talk. I was disappointed that it didn't get the kids to talk right afterwards, but this one was one that might require some thought.
