Bonus Post: Thing 62

100 Things I've Always Wanted To Say But Never Did And Now Maybe Should Since The World Might Be Ending -->

Thing 62:

File this under unsung heroes who should be sung about ... but three cheers for Adam M.  Adam works for the same company as I do (although in a different division for the last few years), and he is one of those people who is always putting the education of others above all else.  Whether it was in a ponytail (before I got to know him) in front of high school students or during the many many classes he taught out of our center (we work for a test prep company) back in the day, he's devoted his life to making sure that others really grasp that which they are trying to learn and he connects with his students with remarkable ease as he leads them to their successes.  He's so dedicated to his mission, he tried to do it all recently with just a partially working lung (singular -- his "extra" lung was completely drowning in enough pus to fill a 2 liter bottle -- a fact he'll tell you about ad nauseum -- and I use that phrase completely in a double-entendric manner).  I'm a little concerned that he may not get past the grammatical errors in my opening phrase (maybe I could edit it to "file this under unsung heroes about whom songs should be sung?")... but assuming he does ... Adam M:  with just 62 days left in this world (maybe?), we sing your praises (... and are so glad that you chose to continue life with both lungs functioning)!

[NOTE -- this is NOT a sympathy ploy published this weekend as a way to cheer him up post "Derek J and the Yanks" meltdown, but was an item that I always intended to have in my "100 Things" series.  Of course, if it does have the effect of cheering him up post "Derek J and the Yanks" meltdown, there's really nothing wrong with that either.]
