btw - Thanks to Jeff for thinking of me and pinging me with a postcard from his time in Germany. He's a lucky man, even if he's angry that his trip to Germany only came about because it's his two weeks of active duty for the Reserves.
I'd like to be in Germany right now.
Also, ladies, if you're in the market for a good man, you can't do wrong with Jeff. He's an articulate, well read, college-educated, military man. He's a world traveller, and treats his girlfriends like queens (which is probably why they end up (cheating || leaving) on him, you ladies always seem to like the jerks, and abuse the princes)...
Check him out. He won't stay stay single for long.

What can I say...Sometimes bad men happen to good women. It's not that I/we go looking for the jerks. They start off being nice and on their best behavior and then turn into complete asses. I so hate the dating world.
