We put up another update for those keeping up with Gabriels' cancer journey.

His diagnosis has changed. He is now being followed by a leading rare cancer oncologist. Any support you can provide is much needed.

Absolutely. As long as those 800 lb tarantulas are dead they are alright by me.

Restaurants are amazing if you think about it: a symphony of people buying, cleaning, prepping, cooking, and delivering food to us every day. And im over here like sure they nailed the atmosphere and pricing and presentation and taste, but the dinner roll was kinda small, 3/5 stars.

Were trying to put together a Halloween costume for my bald son, and he suggested Aang from Last Airbender. Any tips on getting a temporary blue arrow on his head?

When your world is upside-down, strangely, you return to the music that came out when you were 16.

Thanks, Rick. I appreciate the words. Ten years out, things look better, yeah? A volunteer came to visit yesterday, she herself a childhood cancer survivor, now interested in medicine. Survivors exist!

People are asking if im going to be writing about the experience of carrying for a child with cancer. On such little sleep and with such a roller coaster of difficult experiences, it's hard to feel creative. The only thing I could write is that cancer is bullshit. Not exactly Whitman.

I can't believe you just replied to this. I was the guy in the back yelling "makeshift patriot!!!" First time you ever heard that?

I took 2 years off from verse and wrote a novel, and editing that has completely changed the way I look at editing old poems. Kind of the jolt ive been waiting for.
