No, this was the first time that I was really like getting the right shoes and all the gear and all of that. So we were getting into it together. It was not easy. We were definitely pushing. And so we were kind of challenging each other on the there's a hill. So when we would go up that hill, one of us sometimes would be kind of flagging, usually me.
And we both loved the movie An Officer and a Gentleman. I wish I could connect with you on that, but I don't know that one. Have you not seen it? No. So maybe you should watch it. Okay. You should definitely watch it. I will. So Louis Glassett Jr. is the drill sergeant, captain, whatever. Richard Gere is the recruit. And there's a scene where he gets in trouble. So Louis Glassett Jr.

is running him through all these hard exercises, push-ups, and spraying him with the hose and trying to get him to quit, to drop out. And... He says, like, I want your D.O.R. I think it's like drop-on request or whatever. And Richard Gere says, I ain't quitting. I ain't quitting. I got nowhere else to go. I mean, the story will not make sense to people if they haven't seen the movie.

It's making sense to me. But when we were on that hill or any time when one of us really was just so tired, the other one would say, I want your D.O.R., And the other would say, I ain't quitting. I got nowhere else to go.

We talked about everything. We would usually start out talking about how did you sleep the night before. That was Jeff. He was obsessed with the quality of his sleep. So then inevitably it would go into whatever was on our minds lately. If it was a parenting thing or he was dating someone, my marriage, we did get deep real quick. Yeah.

I was going through, I mean, I got divorced in 2011 or left Tom in 2011. So I talked a lot of that through with Jeff. He was the one. And he's very good friends with Tom. And still, their friendship remained strong. So that kind of gave me the freedom to vent if I needed to vent. I knew that Jeff was still going to love Tom.

Nothing really seemed to hurt his feelings. I don't want to make it sound like he didn't have feelings. Definitely he did. There was something about the two of us I knew that he knew who I really am at this core level and that whatever I might say, it didn't change who I am and his understanding of me. So if I was in a bad mood or if I was angry, I said something mean about somebody or something

You know, I didn't even have to tell him, like, oh, I didn't really mean it or maybe I shouldn't say that. He understood who I really was. We had this world that was just the two of us.

I had a neighbor who was behaving a little strangely. So Jeff and I decided that we needed to monitor his movements. Figure out, like, what is going on with this guy? And it was Jeff's idea that we would have code names. And he was Blue Falcon and I was Red Sparrow. He came up with the names. He might say, Red Sparrow, I spotted our target. He's coming toward you.

And I would say, copy that, Blue Falcon.
