The last time I saw Sheryll was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/sets\/391689\/\"  target=\"out\">when I went to visit the Philippines in 1998<\/a>.  That was before she met Clay.  She and Clay live in China now with their three kids.  They are currently in the US visiting Clay&#8217;s parents who live in Santa Rosa, which is about two hours from San Francisco.  Thus, she and Pia are able to get together pretty easily.  Unfortunately, I get left out because I&#8217;m stuck here in Kansas.  Ugh.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll be back for another visit, though.  I will get to see her next time.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2758747930\/\"  title=\"0_200808112105_607.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pic\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3235\/2758747930_3145639f70_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"0_200808112105_607.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/2757910181\/\"  title=\"0_200808112104_606.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pic\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3096\/2757910181_4c45b18a97_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"0_200808112104_606.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of friends visiting&#8230; Richard was in town recently.  We met him and and his friends for dinner at Hana Cafe the other night.  I took the pictures above.  He seems to be doing really well in Texas and is part of a salsa group called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.strictlystreetsalsa.com\/\"  target=\"out\">Strictly Street Salsa<\/a>.  I thought I&#8217;d give their web site a plug.
