thewayneTonight I'm playing City of Heroes, I get in a group with a friend. She continues recruiting, and we end up with a defender named RustyDragon. We commence to spend a couple of hours kicking butt and not bothering to take names. In this one mission we're waiting for our fourth player to get off the phone and catch up, while we wait we start talking. One of the subjects that comes up is temperature and weather. RustyDragon mentions that it's 90 degrees and raining. It sounds suspiciously like home, so I ask him if he's in AZ. He answers in the affirmative.
Conversation continues, soon a private message comes from RustyDragon saying "Is that you, Wayne?" I stop and think for a minute. I only know four people playing CoH in Phoenix. It isn't Dan, because he's explicitly played with me with this character, he'd recognize the name. Besides, he's not doing too much CoH recently, instead he's been getting into World of Warcraft. It's not Jim or his brother Myge as the spelling is too good :-) and I think Jim would have noticed more quickly. So I send RustyDragon a private message basically saying "Ken?"
Sure enough, it was Ken.
Jim was watchig Firefly on DVD, Myge joined us for a mission then ran off on his own. Ken stayed with me and we did another mission of mine.
This is the same Jim as previously mentioned who has colon cancer. The biopsy came back as malignant, not benign, so it'll be the full gamut of treatment.
It is not going to be pleasant, I just hope that they caught it early enough that it can be successfully treated. It doesn't seem to have spread, so that's a good thing.
