Lost video is hilarious (to me). A party and discussion of the last episode of Lost. Hysterical. We were serious people.

Have to say, year after year of your posts I've thought how lovely Frank has come across. Def your rock!

I couldn't help noticing that liquor cart next to him. I'm assuming that wasn't just for him!

But I do have to second Beth's comment. We all have a Mauro, and sometimes we are a Mauro ourselves when we don't reach out to people for whatever reason. Shame and guilt, the story of our lives when it comes to dropped relationships! The stories I could share too, but I enjoyed yours more, Dan. I can see it making a really good screenplay!

Thanks Ellen. Frank is the greatest gift I ever received and yes, that liquor cart is for all to enjoy! I appreciate your comments about the Mauro situation. It still stings but life goes on.

Loved 🥰 this one. We all have a Mauro or know of one - maybe not as low key famous. Friend/acquaintance rejections have been top of mine convos lately for my husband and I. As you advance in life you realize it’s more to do with you than them but it sucks hard (no lie) to be ghosted out of the blue or what feels like that. All you can do is control your actions in the name of growth and trying to maintain that connection. The rest is up to them but man, it hurts hard!! Also didn’t know that Marina & The Diamonds were around for that long. I only started listening to them in 2019 or so with “Primadonna”

Thanks Beth. Yeah I still feel it but have a greater perspective on him now more than I ever did. Still, I've thought, "hmm...maybe I should send him this post..."

Yes, Marina & the Diamonds have been around for a while. I also really liked "Primadonna." She's just going by Marina now which I think takes away from the power of the "group" name but then I'm sure there were business reasons for the change too.

Thanks for reading and adding your thoughts!
