Gender Male
Occupation graduate student/transit planner

Introduction I'm a 38 year old guy living in Washington, DC. I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, metastatic to my liver and lungs, in August of 2006. Since then, I've been in chemotherapy to minimize the effects of the disease, which is incurable. This blog is an outlet to help me make sense of everything that is happening, and to share information and experiences with anyone who is interested.
Interests cycling, soccer, music, movies, travel, food, urban planning
