i ran into Junior - my doctor - and he told me that my friend had had successful cancer surgery to remove a russet potato-sized tumor from his colon (i had mentioned this last month) had a rupture after surgery and almost died this week. He's doing much better now, thank you. He also wanted him to mention that he really had a hankering for a root beer float. So we stopped by QuikTrip on the way and got some fixins. He loved it. And feels much better!
