   Right now, [1]Cathy Seipp, who has been sick with inoperable cancer is
   in the hospital, where (according to her daughter, Maia) the doctors
   are 'just making her comfortable'. There are already 400 comments on
   [2]this post wishing her well but there's room for more.

   From her [3]Normblog Profile:

     Norm: What would you call your autobiography?

     Cathy: For many years as a journalist who spent a lot of time
     interviewing people, I imagined writing a book or column called
     What About ME and MY Feelings?!?. But now that I have a blog,
     that's handled.

     Norm: What would be your most important piece of advice about life?

     Cathy: I've always been a big believer in the importance of kicking
     your own ass. That is, forcing yourself to do what you don't
     necessarily feel like doing at the time.

     Norm: What do you consider the most important personal quality?

     Cathy: A certain large-mindedness, or generosity of spirit -
     because this encompasses not only extending yourself for others,
     but other qualities like courage, and having friends who disagree
     with you politically, and not constantly worrying about what other
     people think.
