      haha, Darren, you’re was a masterful poem. Madness was a great, well rounded topic. I think we attacked it from plenty of angles, too. 🙂

        Totally forgot that, haha! Btw, the title is spelled Madnes with one “s” because his name is Madnes. I know it got kind of confusing, lol 😉

        Cool, but I’m not on social media…other than WordPress, I’m pretty disconnected, unless I need to search for something. 😀
