“In the next few weeks I will be undergoing both surgery and chemotherapy for cancer that has suddenly attacked my body.”

Okay, he had my attention. An old friend. From High School.

“I haven’t told many people, and probably won’t make any comments until after it’s all over.”

Fat chance that. This is my friend. My friend who, along with his wife and family, dresses up like a Pirate.

They are not a close-mouthed lot, if you get my drift.

“I’m going to look funny without hair.”

Yes, well …

We talked. Over time. About life, memories, life, challenges, life … and cancer.

And now … several weeks later … a blog.

Introduced on Speak Like A Pirate Day. Of course.

Oh, and the cancer has spread to his leg.

Arrr.

So I am encouraging you all to go out to his new blog here. He will be posting once every week as he goes through this. Or at least that’s the plan. Weekly posts.

In the words of a Pirate Captain.
