In many instances, Memory Lane was better at the time than in retrospect. But still…nostalgia can be quite compelling….except when I smell Paco Rabanne.

I don’t know who Mr. Rabanne is, but I’ll agree about nostalgia and its power.

The vicious, dirty, dangerous little town where I grew up, and from which I fled as soon as possible, seems like the realm of the hyperboreans, the Eastern Isles, and the Land of the Immortals all rolled into one, as I think about it.

The person who can synthesize the drug that can evoke this effect in real-time and for current events will be a rich man indeed, and will be hailed as great benefactor of mankind.
