Lunch with Matt

Met Matt in Port Moody for a Japanese lunch.  Picked up groceries at Thrifty's before going home.  Was really tired again this afternoon.  The tumours in my groin are bigger and starting to hurt a bit.  
 
Found out this morning that an old friend, George Taylor, died on the weekend from cancer.  We worked together in Health & Safety at the BCTF and on grievances at VESTA.  Always a pleasure to be around.  He had a big influence and will be missed.
