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.
Taylor, George
