Pale Musings

OK, So I ran across this article describing exciting new technology that may get us a step or three closer to a treatment for cancer, or at least brain cancer.

Now, rewind a few weeks to my experience sitting in the theater watching Will Smith in I Am Legend staring as a post-apocalyptic scientists, all alone in a world devastated by a mutated virus designed buy humans to kill cancer.

Geez!  I know it’s “just a movie” but c’mon…..that’s just scary!  I had nightmares when I originally saw the story of Robert Neville played by Charlton Heston in The Omega Man.  My son had a reaction to I Am Legend almost the same as my original experience.  He’s a few years older so I suppose a slightly less memorable experience is to be expected.  Now I have to think about this?

Seriously, I am glad that scientists are making strides.  It’s just one of those coincidences that bring back a strong memory.
