I had gone to the local ER, expecting a run-of-the-mill gallbladder removal that would have me back at work by Monday. Instead, they shipped me down to the big regional hospital in Fargo, North Dakota, where an MRI showed a gallstone, yes, but also a 9.5-centimeter tumor wrapped tightly around the main bile duct and several major blood vessels in the liver. The gastrointestinal specialist was in the room with my wife and me when the radiology report came back. I watched his face drop and his entire demeanor change as he read through it for the first time. He was an affable guy roughly the same age as me. “We just don’t see this in guys our age,” he said. I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, or cancer of the bile duct. As far as cancers go, it’s an especially brutal one: The five-year survival rate is around 10 percent, and most people diagnosed with it are dead within a year. That was going to be me. Cholangiocarcinoma is deadly in large part because it is so rare: There are only about 8,000 new cases in the U.S. each year. Cancer treatment advances patient by patient, clinical trial by clinical trial. Each patient is a new data point. When there are few data points, the science advances very slowly. “There are some chemo and radiation therapies that can slow it down a little bit, maybe buy you some extra time, but nothing that can kill it,” the GI doc explained. “The only way to cure it is to cut it out completely, either by surgically resecting the liver or doing a full-on transplant, but by the time most people are showing symptoms, it’s too late for either of those.” “Is it too late for me?” I asked. “I don’t know,” he said.

For Slate, I wrote about what it's like to get a terminal cancer diagnosis when you're 42. slate.com/life/2026/03...

Last night I went to the B.C. Housing led meeting on the “Tiny Home Village” proposed on 20th Street in New West. The meeting was filled with coordinated attendees who came to spread misinformation drilled into them by the bigoted chaos agents known as NWP in #newwest. Some of the misinfo incl: 1/

he might not even get moved (but if you hold a dude who's professed his love for the city and team out like that you better move him because that relationship might snap if this continues) but i already miss myers

if we've seen the last of Myers in a Canucks jersey, I hope he goes on a good run and tries to retire on top of the pile. then I hope he comes back and works with the team in some capacity, he really loves it out here and has really matured into a great leader.

i feel bad for newer hockey fans who are learning the hard way that a lot of hockey players aren't the heroes we want them to be. but this is hockey. best sport, worst most everything else.

this is why we love when a hockey player stands up for what's right. it shouldn't be rare, but it is.

well, i'm going back to bed

let the hockey begin

no matter what happens now, it's fucking atrocious that this will be decided by 3-on-3 OT. it's only a micron or two better than a shootout.

well. gut check time!
