Had a wonderful time this afternoon over at George's friend Jim's home. George and Jim had been friends since around 1980 and George's death has been especially difficult for him as they pretty much talked on the phone almost daily. I knew Jim lived near Salem (he moved down here from Portland about 2 years ago), and George had mentioned him many times, but I never met him until the funeral. We decided we should get together and today was the day.
Jim made a wonderful dinner and dessert and we played with Bosco and his dog June, and George's dog Scruffy who now is living with Jim.
Jim is a great guy and I am glad I finally got to meet him...incidently, he and my sister Sue used to work together at AT&T back in the 1980s and were good buddies but had lost track of each other over the years...I will have to rectify that.
