03 May 2010: Al

Tour of labs.  Ran into Al, this portly, short, stocky, stout, compact, husky fellow in manufacturing, with salt & pepper hair & goatee and a giant smile on his face.

"I'm moving to Ohio!" he told Shawn.

Shawn: "Ohio?"

"I'm getting married!  She's amazing!  She's all I should have waited for.  I'm 49; she's 48; and the best part is that she loves me!  She loves me!"

Shawn politely smiles, and I, genuinely touched, tell him, "Congratulations!" before we rush off to complete the tour.
