Another day, another chess match in a cat cafe. This time against the legendary wildlife photographer and former chess club nerd, Julie Price. She bragged about crushing me in every one of our prior matches but with kitty distractions in place the tables were turned today. Oh yeah!

The Colorado Public Radio interview with Andrea Dukakis aired this week. Andrea had lost her daughter to a brain tumor and so cancer is something that has touched her and her family directly. www.cpr.org/2025/10/28/l...
He has the same disease as his patients. How a renowned lung cancer doctor is facing life and death
Dr. Ross Camidge hopes talking about his cancer can help to de-stigmatize terminal illness and demonstrate that a person with cancer can still be a productive member of society.

It took me a while to get the cat joke. Dogs can’t screen for lung cancer but catscan. What a delight to meet Dusty Donaldson on her lung cancer screening awareness tour together with Jamie Studts the man who helped boost Kentucky’s screening rate from the lowest to nearly the highest in the USA.
