Good. I hope the family instantly believed Punk Ziggy!

I was staying at a friend's while she went home to Thanksgiving and a person who knew it called---a revolting obscene personalized phone call ! But my friend was positive it couldn't have been that old friend and eww ewww ewwww conversation. I just said yes it was. Painful parts of life you just get through. Perhaps I could have thrown her over the table like you did the old guy.

I had an experience with a "friend" who came over while he knew my then-husband was at work--I discovered he had locked the back door, why? I recall unlocking the door, but can't remember what happened afterward; certainly not whatever he had in mind. Did I tell him to get out? Did my husband come home?

Life. What craziness.

I am glad you were able to stop him and he stayed gone. I’m sorry evil like that exists in the world.

Oh, and I must say that you were a hot punker for 1984. Man, the trouble we could have gotten into if we had known each other back then.

Get working on that time machine we have some hell to raise!

Fuck yes!

Great you had the presence of m mind to immediately defend yourself and slam the predator. Confronting the would-be rapist is the second most courageous thing you did the first being moving from a small town in the Midwest to New York City. I have known people from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn--accent notwithstanding you must have fit right in.
