Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

On 6 January 6 Wilson wrote on his blog that according to several medical authorities he would likely only have between two days and two months left to live. He closed this message with "I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying. Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd."
