Memory

I’m listening to a ‘best of’ podcast of the Chris Moyles show. The current one is actually a ‘best of best of’, also known as filler, so I’ve heard some of it already. One of the pieces featured Ricky Gervais, and he spoke a line that reminded me of the first time I heard it when we were living in Minneapolis. Interestingly (using the word loosely, of course) it didn’t just remind me generically of the time, but of the specific moment when I heard it – it was just here, which is further along Franklin than I would normally be but the road was busy and I was struggling to cross. So now you know.

    What were you doing in that part of town? Isn’t it a bit, uh, dodgy?

    My Proustian moment is always triggered by the sound of a small plane droning overhead on a warm summer day. I hear it and I’m a kid playing in my backyard in Indianapolis. And now you know.

    That part of town is just fine, so long as you’re cool and hip to the streets. So you definitely need to stay in Woodbury ;)

    Dodgy? Ha! Obviously you’ve never been to the truly dogier side of Minneapolis in my backyard:
