Kurt spends most of his time on airplanes traveling for work. He has found that this tight environment is conducive for writing. His first book Plane Excitement was born and raised on many of his early flights.

With the news that his first grandchild was born with hemophilia, Kurt was inspired to try a new way to help generate donations and increase awareness about hemophilia. The eBook version of Plane Excitement is given away for free and the readers are asked for a small donation at the end.

Writer’s Block

As I sit in my chair trying my best to write
I am thinking of dinner from the previous night.

When I hear a commotion with a rumble and roar
and turn to see Connor now opening the door.

“Please play with me, Bestefar—everyone else says they’re busy.
I’ve brought all my toys and my favorite tin lizzy.”

With a truck in his hand and a big smile in place,
I could not be the one to take joy from his face.

I jumped from my chair and sat on the floor
to play with young Connor and be a child once more.

“I’ve brought all your favorites, I know what you like.
Let’s play with the race car and drive down the pike.”

We played with them all, every last little toy.
Because of young Connor my day was a joy.

Tuesday August 3rd 1999

Today is the day I have been waiting for since we arrived—we will be going to Vanse to see all the places my father talked about from his childhood. During the drive my father kept saying, “You know, I am sure things have changed a lot since 1945.” As we entered the town he had a wrinkled brow as he kept looking out the window. “So much has changed,” he said discouraged, shaking his head. “I think
