End of 2025 & End of the Flying Teapot

 

Hello all, I will keep it brief.

I will no longer be able to maintain the links on this blog or write any more posts. Unfortunately my health has declined and recently I was diagnosed with cancer (possibly two). For this reason it is very difficult for me to be in any other position outside of laying down on my back. Chemotherapy and all that, you know how it goes from movies at least, will also take its toll I am sure when it starts. I just can't sit at the PC nor will have any time or energy. Please don't interpret this post as me trying to fish out sympathy or attention. I've been writing on here since high school and some people know me from here indirectly for a very long time, some even sent me very kind emails over the years thanking me for introducing them to various things that they now love and I think those of you deserve to know about this and this is the only way I know how to tell you. I don't think I'll die (although it is stage IV so it is serious) medicine has come a long way but recovery and everything is going to take a very long time.
