the end.

his car into a parking spot half its size in the middle of D.C.
Michael Greene
Resides in

around the fact that none of them were ever prepared for their presentations, but their improvisation gave the
impression that had been prepared all along.

wedding.

"No, not really." the other person responded.
"Well do you want to be friends?"

That is how the friendship between Andrew and David formulated the masterplan of their friendship. To
this day that plan has worked out pretty well.
