"Cheered loudly for the home team", just...fantastic. Thank you for sharing your gift of devastating turns of phrase. You get us all in the room.

I also take it as another midlife, my-brain's-getting-old moment how long it took me to realize that was Alishia Silverstone in that picture. That smirk should be trademarked as late GenX perfection.

Lots of people have implied over the past few months that I was to blame for not noticing I was the other woman. Thank you for showing me I’m not the only one

That was good. Sharp, raw, and yet I could not stop reading. I wanted more. Then it ended, like a splash of cold water. Thank you for sharing. Great job. I am ready for more.

Nice twist at the end. Love the view into our perception of our status with people and the ugly truth that were often wrong.

Ha! This *was* over a decade ago and isn’t meant to be hit piece on all men, just this one douche of an ex. Happy to report truly it isn’t all men, I have some great ones in my life.

I was *just* talking to a younger person on the final gasp of Aerosmith in the 90s and the joys of watching their epic run of videos on MTV (and GnR's of course).

Lots of tangible detail in this. Nice work

“Big Ones” is still on pretty heavy rotation in my home. As for GnR, I may or may not have “Paradise City” on more than one playlist.

Thank you Jimmy
