I just wanted to write a quick post explaining that I’m going to be taking a break from this blog. Well, I sort of already have been anyway. I’m just making it official. I still don’t know whether it will be a permanent break, or just a temporary one. All I know is I’m...

Today on my way to my four month oncology check-up, I saw an awesome bumper sticker. It said: “You were once wild. Don’t let them tame you.” I don’t know what it was supporting. There was fine print under the second line, but I didn’t get a chance to try and read it. (The...
