Jeff is Darlene's man and the handsome father of their three children, thanks to me. Here's why.

Around the time that I was preparing to move to D.C. -- right after I graduated from college -- Darlene was complaining about how miserable she was at her job, so I said, "Why not move to D.C. with me? If you don't like it, you can always come back."

I really did NOT think she would do it, so when she said OKAY, I immediately thought to myself, "WHAT have I done this time?! I just made my best friend quit her job and move to a city that she's never been to before and now we are BOTH unemployed?! SOMEBODY HELP!" ... but I played it off.

Darlene and I packed our bags, said our goodbyes, hopped into our cars, tag-teamed all the up I-95 (and rather enjoyed that), and found our way around D.C. Within a week, she decided to stay. COOL BEANS.

Darlene went back home to get the rest of her things. Meanwhile, I found us an apartment and then found Jeff at a random house party. The very next day, I called Darlene and in all seriousness, said, "Darlene, you have GOT to meet this guy Jeff. I *think* you will like him." A year and a half later... they were married.

          Jeff owes me. Enough said.
