I enjoy your posts and the comments from the fans. As a puertorican I'm glad that you enjoy our weather during your visit. I hope you had the chance to travel around the island. To those of you who have never visited Puerto Rico let me tell you we have a nice warm weather year round, great night life and a lot of beautiful beaches. There are a lot of Yankees fans in the island but Red Sox nation is growing with Lowell, Cora, and Javi on the team. Looking forward to another great year in 2008. Hi Curt,

I just realized I failed to include a direct link to the soldier's blog: http://www.andrewolmsted.com/ I am reading it again for the second time, and it is no less amazing the second time around. Again, thank you for taking the time to share this. Regards, Jamie Lima Sorry, Curt. I just realized I failed to include a direct link to the soldier’s blog:

You may have read it but if not, MSNBC.com posted an article entitled "I died doing a job I loved..." This article really hit home for me and I thought you would appreciate it. There is a direct link to the Milblogging website, a collection of blogs of those serving us, which I also thought you and everyone that frequents this blog may enjoy. It would be nice if we could all take two seconds out of our safe and secure day to thank those who are responsible for making it so. I am not sure what may come out of it, but as I said, I immediately thought of you and the work you do to spread this message when reading it. Here is the link to the MSNBC article: http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/09/563202.aspx From a long time follower of this blog; first time commenter; and, of course, a lifelong Sox fan. All the best to you and yours, Jamie Lima Hi Curt,

I enjoy reading your blog. You are insightful, well-written, but mostly someone who shoots straight from the hip (which is something a girl raised in the heart of farm country appreciates!). I apologize if this violates this blog, but I have a simple request. I know that you and your family are religious and I know that you pray. If you have any spare time, would you please visit the following blog and read about Jaiden? People of different faiths all over the world are praying for her, but as with any tradgedy, there can never be too many prayers. Trust me, I know the family personally, this is absolutely NOT a hoax. http://www.jaident.blogspot.com/ Thank you Curt for taking the time to read this and thank you especially for showing the world that you can be a super-star athlete and still be a wonderful human being! Best wishes for a succesful 2008 season! Welcome Back Curt! I enjoy reading your blog.

It is heartwarming to see prosperous americans take not of our military and appreciate their efforts. Since I have long considered you a nemesis to my pinstripers, I look forward to cheering your successes, even against my Yankees. Dont think I've gone over the deep end - Pap, Tim, Josh, Dice-K, Clay, Big Papi, Manny etc will still receive my jeers!

What do you think about saving the world? Sports (and politics, entertainment, etc) could conceivably save the world or at least America... There are many athletes and others out there who contribute a great deal of money and time to specific charities or their own causes, etc. What if they centralized it and created larger scale social resources? Whaddya think? What we are lacking is a leader, an organizer, or at the very least an agitator (all of which I think you'd be good at). Throw the challenge out there to the masses of the sports world, see what happens. I have lots of thoughts on this and am looking for someone with some clout to help... This is my first blog and am interested to see if you actually read these and reply...
