Hello everyone...
I was wondering if people would let everyone know where they are from...I find it very interesting when reading people's messages and learning where they lay there heads.. I now live in Virgina, orginally from upstate NY...

Karen,
I lived in Catskill and Cairo years ago. I work for a private company in Coxsackie now that has been in business for over 25 years. I live just over the line between Albany and Greene counties. It really is a small world.

Hi Karen!

I think we did this a few months ago and yes it is interesting where everyone is. Wonder if they could add that in the default profiles or on the webpages??

I'm in PA near Philadelphia. As I said to the Palooza folks, we need one on the east coast. :)

Good idea!

If this question has been asked before, I missed it. I am also glad to know where people are from. I do not post often but read other posts regular.

As many of you know my husband is the patient.

We live in Alabama - between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa (If you are not sure where that is, think football)

I bet that can get rather confusing come Iron Bowl time, eh? Of course I learned the hard way that there is NO "halfway" there - you're either a "Roll Tide" or a "War Eagle".

Roll Tide!

Passed as opposed to detected a recurrence from rectal cancer resected a year ago. I guess I should wait for the full report before bragging, but doctor says looks ok. Two small polyps removed.

Thanks for your interest, Kathi.

Small indeed. If any of you with a military connection do R&R at Bellows AFB, I might see you on the beach, since I run there (illegally) every morning.

Bellows AFB is at Waimanalo, east coast of Oahu, between Kailua and Hawaii Kai, almost within sight of Sea Life Park. Big place, nice beach, lots of cabins.

Mark and I (Kerry) are in Bend, OR (that's pretty much dead center). He had his third chemo today and is still up watching Monday Night Football! He thinks he has a handle on the 'first bite' syndrome, but will report after more 'trials'! Three down, nine to go!
