I have cancer. Six years ago, I had melanoma removed from my scalp. It left a deep scar, but at least the treatment was quick and limited to the surgery. From what I’ve been told, this time around I probably won’t be so lucky.
Whether or not I will continue running this site depends on the extent of my illness, and I don’t yet know what that is. Writing about my “cancer journey” isn’t something I’m interested in doing.
The destructive influence of the thoroughly corrupt Roy Cohn persists long after his death, in the person of Donald Trump. A subtext of this documentary is that Cohn was a “self-loathing Jew” who was ashamed of being gay.

I have persistent A-Fib. I don’t know how long this has been going on, but it has to be less than 18 months. That was when I had two EKGs done.
First, during a physical — or was it a Medicare wellness visit? — then, weeks later, during a follow-up echocardiogram. Heart murmur? Yes. PVC? Yes. A-Fib? No.
But wait! There’s more. These are the results taken after my usual indoor workout. F’in NORMAL, and my pulse dropped by 20 beats per minute. I’ll be interested in hearing what a cardiologist says about this.
