He went. I didn't.
I hindsight she was right to make that decision but it is one of the great disappointments of my life! I should have been in that crowd. Ticks me off just thinking about it.
Second only to that was when she wouldn't let my boyfriend take me to Times Square on NYE because she didn't think he'd take care of me either.
I just finished making his dinner. Go figure.
This is a well crafted short story, one to remember. Thanks Jersey Girl.

Yeah except for that typo, it's not bad and it's true!
I hindsight---->In hindsight.
First born only child--pay me no mind--chronic typo spotter!

You don't know what I'm referring to do you.
I suppose not. Is it a New Jersey saying or something?

Why are you here?
??? Now I'm more confused than before.
Please explain what "first born only child" means to you.

I had a friend who went to Woodstock. If you were not near the stage, the primary attraction was that you were in a muddy field with half a million people. If you ever saw The Life of Brian, there's a scene where the people at the back of the crowd are listening to the Sermon on the Mount, and they think Jesus said "blessed are the cheesemakers." That's what Woodstock was like at the back of the crowd. It was only after my friend left Woodstock that he realized that his mud bivouac was now part of the cultural zeitgeist of his generation.
