I'm now in the midst of radiation therapy and, in the last week, it has knocked me down significantly more than I anticipated. (In particular, my 1/8-ton frame was not quite ready for the abrupt, no-solid-food switch!) As such, I'm going to suspend the blog until this is finished and I'm feeling better, hopefully in 5-6 weeks. No podcast this month; we'll see about March. It's possible I'll stick my head back in here a time or two if my energy improves or something urgent comes up. Otherwise, I'm focused on my health and perhaps catching up on reading and Netflix binging. Haven't had the energy for much else.
Wish me luck, folks! I'll report back in a few weeks.
Hope you're back on your feet soon, Scott. I wish you all the very best.

I know you are going through hell, been there done that 3 times Non hodgkins Lymphoma 2002, 2009, 2017 Now in remission Thank God. If you get radiation burns, get Desitin Rash ointment for babies OTC I helps better than the radiation ointment they prescribe.

ReplyDeletePlease get well soon. Your blog is one of the best out there, by far. I recommend you watch "Rectify" is you are in the mood for binge-watching. It explores what small investigative oversights, laziness, and tunnel vision in a murder investigation have on the subject, their family and an entire community. It was beautiful and haunting and makes you thankful for every righteous defense attorney.
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you, but your health is what matters. We'll send you prayer and healing energies.
ReplyDeleteDitto what everyone else said. Always enjoy reading the blog.

ReplyDeleteTexas prosecutor here. Been reading and listening to your blog and podcast for a long time. Was very sad to see this. I am hopeful that you will be back soon to continue your important work. It is very important to all the stakeholders in the criminal justice system.
ReplyDeleteCanadian admirer here! Wishing you all the luck in the world - and more. I heartily agree with the anonymous Texas prosecutor who wrote: "Texas prosecutor here. Been reading and listening to your blog and podcast for a long time. Was very sad to see this. I am hopeful that you will be back soon to continue your important work. It is very important to all the stakeholders in the criminal justice system." One more comment: Don't rush things: Get back into action when you are truly ready. That, hallehjah, will come soon enough! Harold Levy.
