Multiple myeloma strikes again

Bruce Springsteen's wife, Patti Scialfa, has joined the multiple myeloma brigade that includes me, Tom Brokaw, Steve Scalise, Karen Tumulty, and maybe even Queen Elizabeth II. I wish her the best of luck.

SIGH. Also my really sweet classy cousin Joan, really my dad's sister after his parents took her in when her parents split up.

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
