Thank you, and thanks to everyone.

It is especially good to have K on the case. Little dude makes me smile. Looks like my surgery won't be until next week. But I'm gearing up to fight this thing. I'm going to plant some trees this weekend because, fuckit, I plan to watch them grow.

I'm missing PLF right about now.

I just got news my cancer is back. They're still figuring out which kind and all that, I'll get lung biopsy this week. I'm not yet fully public on it in places like facebook, but if you all could either pray to the divine for me if that's your thing or cus the damn disease out or whatever if that's your thing, it'd be much appreciated.

His Instagram for the last two years has been dedicated to his cancer and more importantly, his utter refusal to let it overwhelm him. Almost every post had a #fucancer tag attached. About a year ago, he got cleared to go back on the trails, and he's been biking and doing what he loves ever since. As recently as January, his numbers from the oncologist were doing really well. It was one of my favorite feeds to follow because it was so full of life and someone doing what he clearly loved. And it was beautiful. He took great photos that really captured the natural beauty around him. And many of the pictures were action shots of the various bike trails he was on. It was hard to reconcile his illness with his absolute love of life. He'd posted in January that his numbers at the oncologist's office were doing great, and I (and I assume everyone else) had assumed that he was otherwise healthy.

I'll miss him a lot, even though we never managed to connect in real life. Once, he was going to come down to Houston for a depo, and we'd have drinks. But it got cancelled, and I never had cause to go up to Minnesota

Fuck cancer. Hang in there, man. Sending all the positive energy I can muster.

Thanks, guys.

Sorry to bring the board down. Maybe talk about something uplifting, like it having been almost 24 hours now since the last story about a Supreme Court member getting a little off-the-books payola.

Also, are you all really excited about "coronation quiche" or what?

One of my partners used ChatGPT to write a brief (as a test, not to file) and had the same result. Be careful out there! And know, for now we are still safe.

For shits and giggles I may go down to that courtroom to watch.

No, I will live stream from a federal courtroom, lol.

Turns out, I won't be able to dick around there on that day anyway. I have actual work to do.
