Just got a phone call from an old high school friend. He had called my H's office yesterday and left a message (he'd lost our home phone number) and we've played phone tag since. The message was that he was going to be in town Friday and wanted to get together. Well, H is out of town on an annual boy's ski trip, but I'd love to see my friend - he and I have known each other since we were freshmen in high school, were part of a tight-knit group of friends, who stayed friends for many years afterwards, although contact has been less frequent in the past few years.
Anyway - after playing phone tag we finally spoke tonite, and made arrangements to meet for lunch Friday (he's a pilot, has a one-day turn-around in my city). At the end of the convo, I said to give my regards to his W (they've been married longer than my H and I, and have three great kids each exactly one year older than my three). And here's the "oh no" part - his response to the "give my regards" was - well - guarded.
Is it wrong of me to hope that maybe she has some serious health problem, or got called back to active duty in Iraq, rather than one of them is having a MLC???? HE better not be having a MLC, or I'll kick his butt - I always liked his wife, and thought she was well-suited to him.
So - what started off looking as a great chance to catch up with an old friend - now I'm worried about what I'll hear. Hence the title - I HOPE I'M WRONG!!!!
