Thank you so much Margaret. I appreciate you listening/watching it. I was nervous but Ed did such a great job with the conversation...like I knew him already. For me, that is the best feeling.

Based my experience with prostate cancer, which radiation remitted, yet the radiation damaged my urethea and colon, and my mother’s fatal experience with lung cancer and my favorite niece’s lethal experience with cancer, and other people I have known’s brush with or fatal experience with cancer, there is nothing glorious about it and I'm reminded of the grace under fire approach taken by Ernest Hemingway in hiss novels, and even in his his own life when he was loosing his mind to brain cancer. I hate for anyone to go through the hell that cancer is and I hope for people who do, they are able to retain their dignity and a sense of humor, sarcasm and comfort in knowing it too will pass and death is merely a passage, and God by whatever name is in the middle of it, even if that cannot be understood.

Thank you Sloan for you message here. It is not easy. I was grateful for my faith, running, writing, and support to lean on during this time. I'm so sorry you have had to face it in so many ways. Take good care.

I really enjoyed your conversation with Ed!

In contrast to a lot of the excited(?) conversations that are offered for our consumption, you and Ed are measured and thoughtful throughout your entire discussion.

Calming — you both leave space for the listener to breathe — and make space for their own thoughts.

Thank you!
