Hi Gary,
You are too funny. That photo was taken yesterday in the Napa Valley. My wonderful Filipino friends invited me on a birthday celebration. We were stomping grapes in a barrel – I know yuck, right? But we didn’t drink the juice. We got to taste a bunch of good wines instead. Those filipinos party just like North Dakotans so I fit right in.
The girl in the barrel is one of my coworkers at the Stanford ER. Her name is Terry and she is looking for a good man to date, so if any of your readers are in the market let me know and I can hook you up. She has never been married, has no kids, is a great dancer and sings along to the oldies with a hearty gusto. She owns her own house and has a great job as a trauma nurse.
UI liked the joke at the end of your last blog. Terry would probably like a hale and hardworking guy from North Dakota….especially if he liked to hunt and fish and drink good wine….
Any Takers? Ha ha ha.

Trish,I am inclined to think that you will be the one getting the phone calls after folks saw/see that picture. I do know how old your are and you sure don’t look it in that picture. That is why I was thinking it was taken 30 plus years ago.Yes, These Filipino’s love to celebrate birthdays. For those that don’t have much, they will go out and catch a bunch of fish, light up a wood fire and cook their fish in a pan over the open fire. They will go out and fetch a few tree leaves for their vegetables and cook some rice too, all over the open fire. When the food is all cooked, they will place it on big banana leaves on a table. Then they all stand around the table eating with their hands. They always have a little coconut wine to go alone with their meal too of which they all drink from the same container. If one gets sick, they all get sick, but that seldom happens. They have some hearty immune systems. Of coarse they have a certain amount of coconut wine both before and after the meal.Gary
