My wife is a year removed from her breast cancer surgery. It's immensely treatable, but it still takes its toll. Best of luck, hang in there, but be grateful you live in 2026 and not 1976

Slow Boring has a tremendously large readership, and I am confident most of us will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. It won’t quite be one billion thoughts and prayers, but it’ll be closer than you think!

As far as I’m concerned, you should feel free to take as much time away from writing as you need. To be honest, I could use about two months to get caught up on all the posts I’ve missed over the years.

Be well Matt, Kate, and everyone else in your circle of close friends and family going through this alongside you both!
