Ma & Pa Jackson
Can you post your parents' address, Rob? I meant to get it from you before we all parted ways but forgot. Thanks.

The Smoking Gun: Frank Crouse Revealed
In a stunning blow to his recently launched presidential campaign, Frank Crouse now faces the tough questions - questions he must have known would be coming.
For days, "Frank for President" signs have been perplexing ignorant voters. "Frank who?," they cried. Our source, who shall remain nameless, has gone deep undercover to unearth the following startling clues into the life of this man/beast.
1. "Frank" is officially Frank Crouse of Hana, Maui - owner, manager, and custodian of Na Pualani O Hana, also known as Frank's Flower Farm.
2. Although internationally known as a wonderful place to lay one's head on a soft, inviting pile of cat dander after a long day of hiking on the road to Hana, the Na Pualani O Hana has actually received some controversial reviews.

3. In 1999, Frank served honorably as Grand Marshall of the Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade and Rally during Pride Month in Hawaii. Frank's own sexuality is unknown at this time, and we assume most people prefer it that way.
4. Unfortunately, Frank has yet to be captured by photograph. Even a poor quality shot of Frank is in higher demand than pictures of the Jolie/Pitt baby. On the other hand, anyone who has seen Frank in person has had his image indelibly burned into their minds, thus, for them, photographs would be meaningless.
(For those wondering, the key facts listed above are all true, yes, even the part about the Grand Marshall)

The Frank & Snowball Campaign
To answer your question, Rob, I have heard rumors that Frank has chosen his cat Snowball as his VP running mate. (I suspect that the legalization of marijuana is on the forefront of his political platform: "Legalize Marijuana!!! Heck, Let's Legalize 'Em All!!!") Snowball has turned out to be a huge asset to the campaign. Suprisingly, Frank has self-esteem and body image issues, but Snowball is always quick to give an encouraging word, such as "Frank, your body odor isn't offensive, per say. I'd call it...commanding."
"How could Frank ever have the money to run for president?", one might ask upon meeting our un-laundered friend. Over the past 30 years, Frank has scrimped and saved all the money he's swindled out of poor unassuming Hana-hiking tourists. Some have been brave enough to look him straight in the bloodshot eyes and challenge him but most tend to either cower in fear or become hypnotized by his soothing monotone voice, hence he has collected quite a large sum to launch his campaign.
If you haven't had the chance to meet Frank, I suggest you take a quick jaunt to Hana and swing by the Napolaniohana. Upon arrival, "honk horn for service" and wait for Frank to stumble out of the bamboo forest. Snowball will probably be perched upon a vintage 1991 Ford Aerostar Van handing out campaign buttons: "VOTE FOR FRANK! HE DON'T STANK! well, actually, he does, but...VOTE FOR FRANK!" Let Frank be your guide as you tour the grounds. He will calmly point out all of your options for your night's slumber and proceed to overcharge you. Choose your own adventure: will you choose to defend the price you were previously quoted or become enraptured by his charm and contribute hords of money to his cause? All this can be discussed with Frank on the couch that is covered by a bedsheet, located in the kitchen. Be sure to enjoy the evening's entertainment of music and dancing by your upstairs neighbor. J-Lo is a favorite. And if you have some extra time on your hands, I've heard the Hana General Store sells fabulous muffler tape. Just turn left at the red cabbage.

Farewell to Soybeans
I want you all to know how excited I am about our med school buddies blog. I'm almost as excited about the blog as I am about the benefits of having Frank for president... I feel the need to testify of my excitement because I have not/will not be posting for a while, until things are settled in Spokane (assuming we ever arrive).
As I stuff all our junk in boxes for the big move, I am growing surprisingly sentimental about the Iowa Years. Hence, them American Gothic print. Truth be told, I tried to cut and past my and Chad's heads into the print, but my Photo Shop skills are pathetically less developed than Julie's. Que lastima!
Jacksons, have a blast in Europe! Reynolds, continue working on those tans in Cali/LVNV. We'll talk again when we're Pacific Northwesterners.

Just not the same....
Hey All,
We're killing time at the airport and they have wireless, so I thought I'd try out this blog thing...a big shout out to Annie for putting it together--twice.
One question if Frank is running for President, whose his VP candidate. My nomination is Gaylord the guy from the pool who wanted to arm wrestle Brandon, but I think the hang gliding guy would also be good....
Anyway, we missed you guys during the last Alias episode, it's crazy to think there won't be any more group Alias parties--and i don't think JJ really answered too much in the end.
Put your orders in now for German or English candy/baked goods and we'll mail them when we get home.
Rob

New and improved!
The old blog kicked my can to the curb as blog administrator for some reason (was I not living up to my blog administrator potential?) so I could no longer send invites or change names (Alisa) so I made this new one. Hope it works. I'm sending out new invites. Hope everyone is doing good and nursing their post-Hawaii blues.
More to come...
