Our thoughts are with you

The mother of a good friend was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (Wikipedia, National Cancer Institute). They don’t know much about her situation yet (she’s down at the Mayo Clinic undergoing tests), but pancreatic cancer generally has a very poor prognosis, so this is likely to be a tough time for them all. Our thoughts [...]

Mutant Variety Show accounting

For the bored among you, I’ve posted the accounting or the Mutant Variety Show as a Google Doc. I’m writing the checks to the two organizations as we speak, and we’ve raised (to date) a total of $748, or $374 for each organization (the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) and the Cancer Kids Fund of the [...]

Making an unexpected difference

In general I’m a pretty crap citizen of the websphere. I produce in my spastic little way, but I don’t read or discuss or contribute much to the community of the thing. Or if I do, it’s really scattered and unfocussed. This is especially true in the blogsphere, if less so in Flickr space. So [...]

My father has become a foot soldier in the war on cancer

It’s hard to know how to say this. “My father is fighting cancer.” Nope. Sounds too much like a back alley brawl, and this is a much bigger deal than that. “My father is battling cancer.” Closer. Given the great chunks of medical machinery being brought to bear on his illness, “battle” seems more descriptive [...]
