Jolene is a friend of Stephen’s. I have no idea how they became friends, but, somehow, through Stephen, Jolene and I became friends. Facebook Friends, I guess. We thought we were finally going to meet on this trip through Los Angeles (last time we were there, Jolene was out of town). We thought we were going to meet on Friday evening. Jolene’s life had other plans, because she still couldn’t get back to town in time for us to meet. One of several disappointments on the trip (I had a friend in Wisconsin who had to cancel due to a work commitment, too), but when the time is right, Jolene and I will meet. I’ve been blessed to meet a lot of people in person who started out as on-line friends. It’s always been a good experience.
