I was already grumpy today and then I read this. I had been looking forward to this for two months... I really needed to hear a SANE PROGRESSIVE VOICE this week... {{whimper}}

OK. Deep breath. Back to work.

1. I hope she's okay.

Obviously, there are many reasons for cancelling engagements, and not all of them health-related. Still, I worry about Moll. I'll be looking to see whether she does a book tour this fall.

3. me too

I don't want to sound too self-centered here. It sounded like something unavoidable so I do hope it's not bad news. And I hope she can reschedule for next spring!

2. Sure Hope...

...her cancer hasn't come back.

4. You took the words right out of my fingers.

I love Molly. Saw her in Milwaukee in 2000. Let's all think good thoughts for Molly.

6. I have only recently become a raving leftist

and I never really wen out of my way to read Molly's articles. But I happened to read the article where she told everyone she had cancer. It happened to coincide with my mother's second round with breast cancer. Both recovered. Now my mother has a new, more virulent cancer, so I hope that Molly is okay, and that there really isn't a correlation between them.

5. Interesting that they call it a 'performance' rather than a speech

I wonder whether they do that to everyone

7. that is weird!

I didn't even notice (I was too busy cursing). I think it's because it's at the Alberta Bair, which is more artsy, they rarely have speakers there.

8. Molly has been all over the country speaking

maybe she over did it.

whatever the reason is, i hope she is okay.

big Fan of Molly's.
