Most enjoyable party I've ever been to, frankly.
But why did the group segregate itself along gender lines? I'd never see that before. But I take it, it's not uncommon.

Our husbands are all in the engineering profession and like to talk "work" even outside of work, and none of us women found talking about piping, instrumentation, etc. all that fascinating! LOL.
(incidentally, our husbands are all well-rounded people EXCEPT when they get together with other engineers! Don't ask me why!)
