Finished another Trek book a few days ago (Star Trek - The Next Generation: Immortal Coil) which I enjoyed. The next book to read would be Star Trek - Deep Space Nine: Hollow Men, which is a book I started reading months ago but set aside. The chapters are a bit longer than I like, and while the story is told well, I don't like the B plot, and wish that the book would just forget it, and stick with the one described on the cover. Maybe they'll connect later in the book, but for now, it's just annoying.

I have a followup appointment today, where I should learn the results of the tests I had done a few weeks ago. This relates to my stomach problems. That's at 2:45pm. We'll see how that turns out.

Before that, I have to get the car from Mark; drop him off at work, and then get to the appointment. Later, I'll probably return our bottles, and go to the bank. I also have to go to Hollywood to drop of a movie and get my schedule for next week.

Last Friday, Mark & I went to Chris & Bryan's to help Chris with some Doctor Who type stuff, only it didn't work out because her computer is just too outdated. We did our best, but to no avail. Chris and I started talking about life in Milan, and she got out some year books. Apparently we rode the same school bus. All that talking about forgotten history got me thinking and I looked for Milan people on MySpace, and managed to track down 2 girls I used to go to school with, and a boy who I never talked to in school but always suspected was gay - he is, and we're now becoming fast friends. I'll write to him again today. The two girls, Marsha & Kristen, have updated me on their lives, and both exchanges were pleasant.

I also got back in touch with my cousin Kristen Shankleton. She fell of the face of the Earth a few years ago...on purpose. She hurt a lot of people when she did this; including me. She had some stuff she needed to take care of, though she could have handled it better. Running away seldom solves anything, and while she says it was necessary, it's made things more difficult now. We're trying to stay in touch now, and hopefully we will. Maybe someday we'll be back on track to what we had, or could have had, before.

I need to eat and get ready.
