i'd like you to meet my first husband...
a brief conversation with the director of engineering today, while walking out of the downstairs cafe at the same time as me...

al: "so, how's married life?"
julia: "it's great." (opting, thankfully, to refrain from my usual "yeah, it kind of sucks - it's not what it's cracked up to be" jesting answer.)
al: "is this your first time?"

it was seriously all i could do to not crack up.

julia: "yes. yes it is."
