   this tune</A>
in my mind for the last couple of days, courtesy
of singer-songwriter and fellow Indianapolis native
John Hiatt:

<BLOCKQUOTE><EM>
So whatever your hands find to do <BR/>
You must do with all your heart   <BR/>
There are thoughts enough         <BR/>
To blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart

...

Don't ask what you are not doing  <BR/>
Because your voice cannot command <BR/>
In time we will move mountains    <BR/>
And it will come through your hands 
</EM></BLOCKQUOTE>

One of my deepest hopes as a parent is that I can
help my daughters carry this message with them
throughout their lives.

I also figure I'll be doing all right as a teacher
if my students take this message with them when
they graduate, whether or not they remember anything
particular about design patterns or <TT>lambda</TT>.
