Thanks, Barry! I'm back to NoDak tomorrow, sadly. But it was nice to get back to the Real World for a couple of days, and I managed to function in polite society again.   ;D  It's been so long I was a bit worried I was turning into a bumpkin.

Hmmm. . . I beg to differ.  ;) But you're welcome to come find out for yourself: all the German food you can stomach, more heads of cattle than humans, and a dearth of cultural opportunities. But I don't want to oversell it.  ha2ha

Okay, I guess I'm not fully familiar with North Dakota.  The only Dakota I ever visited was South Dakota when I was 15 and I went with my family on a US tour.  My dad did the driving and I was the navigator sitting in the right front seat.  We visited Custer State Park, Badlands National Park and Mount Rushmore National Monument on the northern leg of our journey back to New York.

Well, at least you got the chance to visit civilization.  As for me, except for two years living in North Carolina and returning to New York when I was four, I was happy to leave the city and practice in New Jersey where I could live in a semi-rural area.  Here there are lots of horse farms and riding trails as I'm not too far from the headquarters of the United States Equestrian Team.  Horses have the right of way on the unpaved roads.  It's a nice place to live.

I don't mind cattle but I don't think I would be able to manage German food.  Are there no redeeming qualities of North Dakotan life?

Hmmm. Well, it is a red state. And there's hardly any traffic. That's about it!  ;)

 ha2ha  OK, then, let's switch places. I'd be happy to relocate to NJ/NY, and ND is in dire need of physicians. You'll have to take up smokeless tobacco, though, so start carrying around a cup to spit in.  :-X

My beloved older daughter—named before she was even conceived after St. Monica—is coming home tomorrow for an early birthday celebration.  :angel:

Back in 1997 she was nine days overdue. The heat index in our city in Virginia the day before she was born was a grueling 117 F (~47 C). I was an enormous, hot, extremely cranky elephant.  ha2ha Her father was afraid to even look in my direction that day.

As she always teases me back, though, she was worth the wait. (A million times over.)

Happy Birthday, Monica!

Aww, thanks, Barry! Monica said to say thanks, too.  :)

We were chatting about her job last night, and she said there is one male employee who never replies or makes eye contact when she greets him in the hallway. (This happens a lot in this state, including with one of my own coworkers.) So I said, "Well, maybe he thinks you're cute, and he's just shy!", and her reaction was priceless. She was like "Ewwww! He's old! Like, 40!"

When she saw my face, she tried to backtrack: "Well, not OLD, but too old for me." I was was smirking and trying not to laugh. Nice save, Monica.  ha2ha (She's 23, soon to be 24.) You kind to have to have been there, but it was pretty funny.

I can picture that!   ;D

Remind her that one day she'll be older too...
