Lol - no, I don't think he's lying to me. You should have heard how happy he was that I called!

He had thought that he couldn't afford to go on the fishing trip. Then his friends and family surprised him with the money for the trip and all his gear ready to go. (Which says something nice about how his family and friends feel about him). So he had a nice little birthday fishing trip to Yuma with his buddies, which he really really needed.

In the three days since he's been home, he's found a new apartment (his mom moved in with him and he's been looking for a larger apartment so she could have her own bedroom), been to the doctor's with his mom (who has just started treatment for hepatitis C), been working very long hours (has his own business and it's the busy season), and drove 2 hours away to pick up his daughter for the weekend. So I can't really blame him for thinking I would call soon and then he'd get to talk to me. Usually I WOULD have called him sooner, except I was mad at him for not calling me, lol!!!!
