The proud, free, sovereign state of Frank Aloysious Madrid sends Jason
Smith as it's ambassador. If I had the time, I would write my own diatribe,
but I don't. I wouldn't be able to say it any better, so I will just sit in
solidarity with my man Jason. Mr. Smith, (hope you enjoy compliments) has
been one of my favorite entities on the list since I joined. That had
nothing to do with my point, I just felt like being my sweet self. I
actually feel bad for not posting in such a long time. But fear not, I have
been faithfully lurking in the shadows. AAAAAHHH, my beloved list. What
would a family be without dysfunction. xoxoxox, frankie.
P.S. I saw The Cure Tuesday night, absolutely brilliant!!!
P.P.S. I am currently reading "Naked" by David Sedaris. i highly recommend,
it is stupendously funny and terribly witty.
