I caught up on some phone calls last night. I talked to a friend in Santa Barbara to finally tell her about the e-mail from our former high school friend and catch up on the things from the last time we talked...about 4 months ago. The bitch is going to Disneyland today. And it looks like she and her husband are going to come visit me in late October. Brr. She mentioned camping their way up to me through Oregon and stopping at Multnomah Falls again. Of course, I'd just been there a week and a half ago so I could speak with some authority on that.

Then I called the friend with cancer. I found her phone number on the internet and then her son gave me her cell phone number so it was a pretty short conversation since she was at the grocery store. But, I got the information that I wanted. She was diagnosed with lymphoma in November and it seems to be in remission now. She has two more chemo treatments and then she's finished. Phew.

Then I called the other friend back to let her know what I'd found out.

I also heard yesterday that my paternal grandparents are coming up for a visit in mid-late June. Guess that means that I won't be in Santa Barbara for my friend's 40th birthday. Since my grandfather's going to be 90, he wins.
