Bryn Mawr. Such a lockjawed, toothy phrase. I always channel Katherine Hepburn when I say it.

@mellbell: I ran your screen name by my daughter, class of '06, but it didn't ring a bell. So to speak. when did you graduate?

I lived on Bryn Mawr drive in my last year at the University of New Mexico, whose illustrious futbol americano team beat Arizona last weekend.

I live near Bryn Mawr the street...in Chicago. I know zilch about the educational institution, I just like saying it aloud.

Re: cheating--Just to clarify, my belief that our tendencies to cheat vs. not cheat are part of our biological hard-wiring should in no way imply that I believe all men are incapable of being faithful or have an excuse for infidelity. If you said you would be faithful and then are not, you. are. a. fuckwit.

BTW - I lived in Bryn Mawr the town. I've got no connection to the college.

Dodger: My favorite part was all the "suspicious male" sightings at Bryn Mawr. I never could figure out what the threshold was for that on a women's college campus.

@Trotsky: What about you and Frida? Diego's cheating broker her heart, but I think she really loved Trotsky. And a French woman? A little help? The brain is rusted from da drugs.

Re: Fidelity: There is no excuse for marital infidelity. The old "male biological imperative" saw is a bunch of crap. It should be known as "The Rapist's Defense". Sorry, cheaters, you suck, and no amount of explaining will ever change that. If your partners think so little of themselves that they are willing to Forgive and Forget, well then you deserve each other, and the mutual misery you bring. Just don't come whining to me. Everyone gets tempted, but only lowlife trash are unable to resist.

@mellbell: I loved the BiCo news. My favorite part was the crime blotter -- all those gate arms broken off. Natasha said it was townies.

@ Nerd In All Forms - email me off the list and I'll arrange for a pass (or two) (can be found, the email that is, under the profile).

Dodger: In that case, I'm sure we're only a couple of degrees separated. I took a few classes over there (German, Geo, and Poli Sci), and went to a fair share of plays at Goodhart, plus took up Bi-Co senior year because they badly needed copy-editors.

@Tommcatt re honor/fidelity: absolutely. Abso-fucking-lutely. Always amazed at women who married the guy who cheated on his wife with them and then they are stunned when he cheats on them. A cheater is a cheater is a cheater. "We were far apart"? Please.

@ melbell: '06 for my daughter Natasha.

BTW I just saw that the feds are bailing out AIG. WTF?

@OA: Thanks, I appreciate that. I hated going through it, but perhaps it put me in a better place. Interesting side note: she ended up marrying the guy she cheated with, many years later.

I guess I see physical and emotional cheating as different things, although they're both bad in my book. I agree with the general sentiment that breaking the rules of the relationship is the real problem -- cheating can only be defined within the context of the relationship and its expectations.

@chibureau

Accepted, my dear. And in the interests of time, I will spare you my 1000 word essay on the FUBAR that was the decision to play those games in Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE!!!!!!!!!!!

@LuxMentis: duly noted, both name and location. That is pretty funny about the name. I seem to be having fun with the ability to change my name at will here, but I'm sure I'll tire of it in a day or so. I doubt I'll be able to get to the book show, that's right after my play opens, and I'm either going to be sleeping or stagemanaging.

Dodger, Baked, JNOV: What class years? (Probably didn't know them, but they might have been friends of friends or some such.)
