That's the first place I went when I received my cancer diagnosis, the place I go before every CT scan, the place I go when I am afraid or feel alone."<BR/><BR/>So do I! Every Sunday I take my dog on a walk that passes through what I call typical English countryside. I sit for a few minutes on a bench in the garden of the quaint little country church in which my elder daughter was married and I say my prayers, thanking God for keeping me safe for a another week. I regained my faith after I began to recover from surgery. I never really lost it, I guess, but I had become cynical and apathetic towards religion. Now all that has changed, and I no longer fear death.<BR/><BR/>As you know, my story is on my website, and I update it regularly:<BR/>http://www.camsoftpartners.co.uk/pmpsurvivor.htm<BR/><BR/>Unlike you, Carolyn, I did not have to learn about Web design as this has been part of my job ever since the Web first went public. I train language teachers to use computers, and I maintain this website:<BR/><BR/>http://www.ict4lt.org<BR/><BR/>Recently, I have developed an interest in virtual worlds, especially Second Life:<BR/><BR/>http://secondlife.com<BR/><BR/>I maintain a "house" in Second Life, and I regularly explore other locations. Around six weeks ago, I discovered that the American Cancer Society (ACS) has a presence in Second Life. I dropped in on their location and "met" three of their representatives. The conversation turned to PMP and they asked me if I would be prepared to talk about it during one of their online broadcasts. They had never met anyone with PMP before, so I willingly offered to do the talk and provide them with any additional information they needed.<BR/><BR/>I have written introductory tutorial materials on accessing Second Life:<BR/><BR/>http://www.ict4lt.org/en/en_mod1-5.htm#secondlife<BR/><BR/>The materials are geared towards language teachers, but they are also of general use.<BR/><BR/>GrahamGraham Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15782751150452768910noreply@blogger.com
