Hi everyone, I bet you're wondering why there is a new message so soon after my last one. Well I won't keep you in suspence. I don't have much to update you on except that the communication vehicle for these messages will be changing. Unfortunately, there are some companies out there blocking this site from their employee's use. As a result, there are a bunch of people who want to follow along this story who now can't so I've decided to move it. It's unfortunate because this Blog site was working well until now...oh well, all good things must come to an end.
So out goes Blogspot, in comes Facebook. This is the first I have ever used Facebook so it may take me a while to get it figured out. I don't know if you have to be my "friend" or not to read my postings, but I'll try to make sure it's open to everyone. It seems Facebook is the site that just about everyone has access to and is most likely already a member of, so this should be pretty painless.
If I'm wrong and you feel this is still the best way to get these messages out, go ahead and let me know, I'll still be checking this site. But I also want to know the other side. If Facebook is the best way to go, then I want to know that too. Evey helped me set up my Facebook page the other night so it should be ready to go, but I still have to learn how to use it for what I want to do so give me some time. Hopefully this is good news for some of you and is better for the this group as a whole, we'll see.
No changes to the lung surgery schedule or anything else coming up. I'm just waiting patiently as always for that day to come. Thanks everyone, and I'm serious about letting me know your thoughts about this change. I can very easily not do it as well. Take care and have some fun. Maybe we'll run into each other at the US Open this weekend in HB...who knows?

What is Kurt's diagnosis?
AML is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloblasts (a type of white blood cell), red blood cells, or platelets.
Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This type of cancer usually gets worse quickly if it is not treated. It is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. AML is also called acute myelogenous leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia, acute granulocytic leukemia, and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

Yeah, we got blocked at work. Facebook will likely be your easiest bet, but you'll have to make some choices on your privacy. too high, and you will need to "friend" everyone, and too low, and you're exposed. Another option is wordpress. They have free blog hosting just like blogspot, and my work has not blocked it....
Baby Boy,
Facebook is the way to go, I for one check it every day. I keep in touch with family and friends and you will find out how easy it is. Trust me, Sonia is almost 66 and is using it; that tells you something, right?
If you make it private, then we have to be confirmed as your friends in order to see your wall, pictures, etc. However, if you choose friends of friends, or everyone, then we can check you out without you having to confirm everyone. I am sure Evey knows what I am talking about...
Nevertheless, I want you to confirm me as a friend, because I am very special : )
Hang in there Kurt, as I said before, you are my hero and heroes never give up!
Lots of love for you and Evey!

Hi Kurt,
Have you heard of Caringbridge. It's a free website where you can post like you do on this site. I follow a few friends on that site and it's really great. Have a look at it, if you haven't already.
Take care -
Lots of love always -

Hi Kurt and Evey

Please have her call or text if she needs anything or wants to come stay...I can make an Ironman sandwich delivery at any time too!

All - PLEASE NOTE and PASS THE WORD:
Kurt's blog is now available for all Ingram Micro associates (it's been unblocked).
My personal preference is that Kurt and all will continue posting here as this site is easy and has all the history.
So, now that this issue has been fixed -- GET POSTING KURT!! :)
Very Best, TB
