JAI
WAS
already
in
the
hall
?
an
unexpected
full
house
of
400
?
and
as
I
____________________
on
stage
to
check
out
the
podium
and
get
organized
,
she
could
see
how
____________________
I
was
.
While
I
busied
myself
arranging
my
____________________
,
Jai
noticed
that
I
was
making
eye
contact
with
almost
no
one
.
She
thought
that
I
couldn't
bring
myself
to
look
into
the
____________________
,
knowing
I
might
see
a
friend
or
former
student
,
and
I'd
be
too
overwhelmed
by
the
____________________
of
that
eye
contact
.
There
was
a
____________________
in
the
audience
as
I
got
myself
ready
.
For
those
who
came
to
see
just
what
a
man
dying
of
pancreatic
cancer
looked
like
,
surely
there
were
____________________
:
Was
that
my
real
hair
?
?
.
Even
with
?
I
wasn't
in
a
suit
.
I
wore
no
tie
.
I
wasn't
going
to
get
up
there
in
some
____________________
tweed
jacket
with
leather
elbow
____________________
.
Instead
,
I
had
chosen
to
give
my
lecture
wearing
the
most
appropriate
childhood
-
dream
____________________
I
could
find
in
my
closet
.
Granted
,
at
first
glance
I
looked
like
the
guy
who'd
take
your
____________________
at
a
fast
-
food
drive
-
through
.
But
actually
,
the
logo
on
my
short
sleeved
____________________
shirt
was
an
emblem
of
honor
because
it's
the
one
worn
by
Walt
Disney
Imagineers
?
the
artists
,
writers
and
____________________
who
create
themepark
fantasies
.
In
1995
,
I
spent
a
six
-
month
____________________
as
an
Imagineer
.
It
was
a
highlight
of
my
life
,
the
fulfillment
of
a
____________________
dream
.
?
.
I
thanked
