Joe Feuerherd, publisher of the National Catholic Reporter (it’s the Left-leaning one), has cancer. He writes from a chemotherapy infusion room about the experience with a helpful humor in a way Corner readers might especially appreciate:

Normally, being the political junkie I am, I can tell you who was undersecretary of transportation in the Ford administration. For 24 hours, I had no idea who the current president of the United States (a man I had interviewed) is.

I first met Joe at a conference on WFB at Portsmouth Abbey last year. God bless him and everyone helping him in this foreign territory.

For those of us plowing along on a Monday without such serious obstacles, thank you, Joe, for the thanksgiving reminder.
