ah --

it takes me back

the smell of this biscuit.

this is how the book begins -- and right now -- the thought of the opening of 'a remembrance of things past' or 'in search of lost time' -- invokes in me a stirring of a strange memory of having recently seen an episode of "the good doctor" in which an intoxicated surgeon hears a biscuit mentioned and is transported back in time in a story arc that is ultimately a non event. Crimes go unpunished, , wishes are forgotten, and the world returns to normal for next week's episode.
