Great thoughts. Very happy for your family that you came through this successfully. Lots to be thankful for there.

So, I've seen a couple of your comments on HN in the past, and just wanted to mention it would be helpful if you had some contact information (e.g. Twitter, URL, etc.) in your HN profile so people can follow-up one-on-one when it makes sense to do so. Unless, of course, you're trying to avoid people. :-)
