Today I found out I most likely have rectal cancer.
I got that result by following up on my changed bowel habits, eliminating causes one by one.
Soon I will know for sure and follow proper treatments.
So as part of cancer awareness month:
Please follow up on changes in your bowel habits.

For my memory; I hope to contemplate more about this later. But right now, with 10 medically related appointments in 2 weeks time, my head is too full.
Today I found out that earlier this year, one of my parents really good friends has passed away earlier this year: [WayBack/Archive.is] Kornelia Esser : Traueranzeige : Super Sonntag / Super Mittwoch.
Text:
Der Tod kann auch freundlich kommen zu Menschen, die alt sind,
deren Hände nicht mehr festhalten wollen,
deren Augen müde wurden,
deren Stimme nur noch sagt:
„Es ist genug. nas Leben war schön.”Kornelia Esser
* 28. August 1930 † 30. Juni 2019Wenn ihr an mich denkt, seid nicht traurig, erzählt lieber von mir und traut euch ruhig
zu lachen.
Lasst einen Platz zwischen euch, in eurer Mitte, so, wie ich ihn im Leben hatte.Du bleibst immer in unseren Herzen
Ernst und Sibille Esser
Anita und Achim Halkour
mit Arne und Pia
Uschi und Jürgen Ulrichs
mit Lisa und Lars

Ook voor brussen (boers/zussen):
De meeste ouders van een kind met een verstandelijke of meervoudige beperking komen meer dan eens voor een medische beslissing te staan voor hun kind. Wat kan en mag je als ouder/verzorger? Wat kan en mag een arts? Hoe ga je samen in gesprek en wat zegt de wet hierover? Hierover gaat het boek “Als je niet zelf kan beslissen”.

Missed this during the hectic last years, but bumped into it by accident: [WayBack] BBC Radio 2 – Ken Bruce, Mark Knopfler performs live, Mark Knopfler performs live in the Radio 2 Piano Room.
Tracks performed: Romeo & Juliet, Good On You Son and The Boxer
as part of [WayBack] BBC Radio 2 – Ken Bruce, Mark Knopfler performs live
Mark Knopfler, the singer-songwriter, guitarist, producer and the lead singer of Dire Straits performs live in the Radio 2 Piano Room. Mark is about to release his 9th solo studio album ‘Down The Road Wherever’ which features 14 new songs written by Mark. The album has been inspired by a wide range of subjects, including his early days in Deptford with Dire Straits, a stray football fan lost in a strange town, the compulsion of a musician hitching home through the snow, and a man out of time in his local greasy spoon. In addition to producing his own records Mark has also produced albums for Bob Dylan and Randy Newman. The multi Grammy award winning artist has also composed film scores, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
I also missed the “new” 2018 studio album Down the Road Wherever – Wikipedia:

Guitarist Mark Knopfler led a stripped-down rendition of Dire Straits classic “Romeo And Juliet” for the BBC. Video of the stirring performance is now available.

Some people already noticed me being far less active on social media including this blog.
This will continue for a while, as I am supporting two people that are very dear to me.

The biggest lie I tell myself is “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it”
It’s likely older, but the oldest reference I could find was 2012 [WayBack].
So before I forget:
Happy New Year everyone!
With the above quote, it is no coincidence I started my blog even earlier (in 2009): it’s my off-line memory, way better readable than my hand-writing and indexed by various search engines.

All of humanity is more alike than different. This holds for generations as well:
the findings suggest meaningful differences among generations do not exist!
Let this be a thought in these days at the end of december: enjoy that we all are so much alike, and help each other succeed.

In an article for Forbes Magazine, we busted the persistent myth that different generations have different needs and desires at work. Back then we were talking about popular-press articles claiming that, for…
