Another gloomy day outside. It drizzled this morning but now it's overcast. I'll be going on my little bike ride pretty soon. Believe it or not, the cool and overcast conditions are ideal for me in bike riding.

I called my friend from college this morning. At first, when I called him, he didn't answer. Today is the eve of his appointment for the colonoscopy tomorrow. After he didn't return my call, I was worried that something may have happened to him. So I called back after two hours from the first time and got him. We had a pretty nice talk. I thought that I would calm his nerves for today.

I called my local friend - telling him that I was worried about my friend. He didn't have much to say about it. Talking to him was alright except to mention from the newspaper that a local hospital had to lay off some staff because of patient's insurance refusing to pay for services. My friend sometimes has a knack for bringing things up that are upsetting.
