I have a crush on Ed’s wife.

While working for the UAC, I had a teammate I shall call Ed, because that is his name. He was hired for astronaut duty after I had left Calgary, but had the good sense to get out long before I did. Over the duration of his astro-tenure, he got married to the lovely Natalie. They are both Nintendo nerds and wholly entertaining, even if they have a frightening passion for football. They are officially Good People, and I count them among my friends even though we’ve never actually met.

Natalie wrote an update last Tuesday that I think deserves to be shared with the whole world but I will settle for sharing with you guys. Read her story, and if you aren’t madly in love with her afterwards you have a heart of stone and probably are guilty of the same crimes as her antagonist.

Natalie is awesome.
