Role model? More like a prophetic vision.

If you've ever watched Burn Notice or happen to come across it one day while flipping channels, pay close attention to Madeline Westen. That is who I am going to be when I grow up. After tonight's episode, I'm sure of it.

And that's not wishful thinking, folks. That's an inevitability, right down to the tank tops, capri pants, and big ol' earrings.

Since I quit smoking, though, I'm going to have to take up another annoying, possibly fatal, habit to enhance my personality.

Oh, sure, you scoff now. But you won't be scoffing in 30 years when I'm right.
