Welcome!

Dear family and friends,

Welcome to the Burger Abode! We have created this site for a multitude of reasons, all of which you will be informed of in a few minutes, hoping we retain your attention long enough to get you to that magical point!

We hope you find this blog informative. At this point we have a real need to dispurse large amounts of information to a vast number of people in an accurate and timely manner. Rita and I have recently discovered that this is a daunting task! What began as 5 outgoing cell phone calls quickly erupted to literally hundreds of unmanageable incoming calls, texts, and e-mails. We began questioning our correct relay of information - to who and when - and did I forget to tell this and that, and do I need to call back and etc... to the near pinnacle of insanity! Again, welcome to the Burger Abode! Where there is "no tellin' what's next!


Just a couple of quick notes: We realize that that we are unintentionally going to miss some folks on the first couple of publications of this blog. PLEASE DO NOT forward to them, but let us know via e-mail so we can add them to our distribution list. We just kinda want to know who all (if anyone) is keeping up with the Burger Abode! Also, there is a place at the bottom of this blog for comments and questions. Rita and I ask that you not utilize this function but address such issues to our email account burgerabodeupdate@sbcglobal.net so they will be included in the next blog posting! Thank you in advance for your understanding in these matters!
Rita and John

October 20, 2009
































Wow!!! Lookie at what I got! Sunday. Krystle delived a homemade, from scratch, constructed with TLC, "Tres Leches" cake! Its all due to my clean living, folks. It does not look like this anymore. Rita decided that the strawberry in the middle had her name written all over it! Yep, that was the first thing that terribly defaced this masterpiece. And the cosmetic regression has continued...

Tiffany and Krystle (and Scott, too) have been visiting and keeping me occupied on a regular basis. Tiffany always makes me take off my hat so she can see the progression of the healing process on the back of my head. She always is complimentary. I don't know because can't see the back of my head. It's all good with me! Tiff made me go walking with her Sunday night. It was great! It gets pretty boring walking with yourself because you always know what the other person is going to say!

I would also like for you to meet my radiology team. Shown in the photo are Lisa and
Tanya. I get to see them every day (Monday thru Friday) for the next 2 weeks. In case there is any confusion, I am the one in the middle. I am holding my mask that is placed over my face and secured to the table to keep me immobile during the radiation treatment. The machine we are standing under is what I refer to as "The Zapper". It rotates around to predetermined coorinates to aim the business where it belongs.
I found a place that makes "scrub hats". Monday, before my first "zapping", Elaine took me to Joanne's where I bought fabric for 5 new hats. Then we delivered the material to the seamstress for Friday pick-up. I'm so excited! For the first time in my life I can express my inner feelings, clash with my attire, and get Rita's approval all at the same time. I really want to get my Halloween hat! Boo! Did I scare YOU!
Rita is tollerating me and my antics. And as hard as I try to catch her off guard she just rolls with the flow as usual. She has to go out of town Thursday. She needs the break but I know all she will do is worry for nought. I'll be fine and there are plenty of folks that will be checking up on me. I want her to get away, get a couple of good night's sleep, and return refreshed only to find I am OK and she doesn't need to worry constantly.
Rita Wrote: But I promise, it won't happen. I will worry no matter what. It just doesn't matter. I think he really does understand!
