Count me in for the essay collection. (I have four!) I join you in the dismay over the death of "aesthetic." That said, when one of my teen daughters tells me something I'm wearing or anything I've produced is "aesthetic," I can't help but feel I've succeeded in a major way. They're not throwing those compliments around for just anything. It's earned!

Agreed! Always chuffed to be called "aesthetic." Which seldom happens. LMK if you can think of other writers with 4+ kids...
