Suddenly feeling extra-motivated to work very hard on the last 25% of my side project this weekend

The next two weeks include the anniversaries of the deaths of two friends from colon cancer, and has also brought unwelcome news about a third with an existing diagnosis. Do the free test if you get it. Get checked if you have any family history or have any concerns.
