Excellent story. I felt lonely with you. I'm looking forward to the next chapter about your immersion in the early '90s grunge music scene. I'm 53 and graduated from college in 1991 and graduate school in 1994 (WVU). That music is my favorite, although at the time I was content with just the bigger radio hits. In retrospect, I'd love to have been there as it was forming to see some of the lesser known bands. Anyway, I'm guessing your next chapter went a little better, and while I tend toward the melancholy myself, I'll be looking forward to reading about what came next.
