This has been the big question that people keep asking me over the past few months. It is a question that I'm not quite sure how to answer. Is it one of those "How are you" type small talk questions or is it more?
What is the appropriate response to that question? What are people expecting me to say to a question like that? I've been tempted to say something like "It really blows. If I'd known it was going to be like this, I would never have gotten married" just to get a reaction.
But, of course, this isn't the truth. Being married is great. But things really aren't that different than when Sujan and I were dating except now her dad is really making the hard sell for me to learn Korean. He has even offered to pay for me to live in S. Korea next summer to learn the language.
So I guess I have an answer for the question after all. Nevermind.

If you go to Korea for intensive language training, maybe you can help the CIA get things right: CIA YIELDS TO SOUTH KOREA IN SPELLING DISPUTE (sorry for the self promotion but I can't remember the FAS link).

OK Daniel. I am now completely hooked on your blog and read All entries en masse. My favorites inccluded your first baseball game where I lost you to the clutches of baseball and to Stone Groove's total influence; the mention of my poker finesse. your fondness for the peanut, and your conquering the fear of dishwashing. From personal observation of your marriage of four and a half months. you and Sujan seem to be basking in the happiness of the newly married. Anyway, I'll keep on reading and will add Sujan's blog tomorrow., By the way. I think you should take the offer to learn Korean. although I hope you'll find it easier than your high school Spanish.
Ah, in-laws - just part of the marriage package!
Love, Chris' Mom
i get this all the time as well. i think it's just a different way for people to ask "how are you" and "how is your wife" without having to ask two separate questions.
