I heard while at the 80/35 festival he had just been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Considering his years of smoking and drinking heavily, it's not a complete surprise, but hopefully they can take care of it.

Good article. I think this one that it links to: http://howtoplayalone...
I’ll be 54 in April, and everyone keeps asking how I do it. How do I do what? I’m never completely sure what the questioner means. I *hope* they mean how do I manage to keep producing books, writing essays, making radio and television appearances at all hours, traveling all over the place with no sign of exhaustion, teaching classes, and giving lectures, while still retaining my own hair and teeth and a near-godlike physique which is the envy of many of my juniors. Sometimes, though, I suppose they mean how do I do all this and still drink enough every day to kill or stun the average mule? My doctor confesses himself amazed at my haleness (and I never lie to a medical man), but then, in my time I’ve met more old drunks than old doctors. |

Bummer. I hope that he's around for many more years. He's one of my favorite authors and speakers.

I think we should all surf the internet like never before; it will take whole lot of not actually doing anything, for us to be able to take credit for his likely "miraculous" recovery in spite of all the advances in medicine.
