The Voices in Frank's Head

Okay, I suddenly feel old. I came home from work today. Waiting for me in my mail was an invitation of to my cousin's high school graduation party. A cousin that I used to baby sit for, once upon a time. I feel old. Really, really old.

I swear, if I hadn't seen the video for this story with my own eyes, I simply wouldn't have believed that it was true.
