A few years ago, my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Now, cancer is rearing its ugly head again. This time, it’s Carol, my wife.
She had a two spots on her breast biopsied yesterday. We just got the call to say that both spots were cancerous.
The news isn’t all bad. The spots were caught in a mammogram with follow-up ultrasounds. The biggest was 6mm. So, we got it early and the prognosis is good.

Here’s an interesting read and take on the Randy Cunningham broadside against Yahoo!
When is Spam not Spam?
The thing is, it kind of is spam. I know that it’s not unsolicited and Randy doesn’t share his email lists and he has an unsubscribe link and honours all the unsubscribe requests promptly, but really, why do we need to use email for this? I used to subscribe to lots of email lists. Like ten years ago. But we have blogs now and RSS newsfeeds.
It brings up an interesting question or two: When and for what should you use email? And should you consider moving from email to RSS?

ReturnPath shivers
Engulfs Habeas like spring
Floats away from us.
(See OpinionJournal for an explanation of the “bye-ku.” Of course, don’t forget that Habeas started out with putting a haiku into the headers of email.)
Update: Maybe we’ll get a mini round-up of Habeas haiku.
Laura at Word to the Wise has one up.
Steve at Word to the Wise has a collection of email delivery related haiku.
Al Iverson has also done one.
