isn't it funny how you can be going about your routine, day in and day out, never really thinking beyond what it is that you're doing, and what you still have to get done that day, when suddenly some tiny, insignificant detail around you transports you back to a different time in your life, where you can actually see and feel and smell the things from your memory as if they were all around you again?

today, as i was driving, paul simon's "50 ways to leave your lover" came on the radio and in an instant i was 4 years old again, sitting in the backseat of our beige volkswagen bug. i could feel the heat of the summer as the hot air rushed in the open window and onto my face, i could smell the vinyl seats being baked by the rays of the sun, and i could feel them sticking to the backs of my legs as i sat in the middle of the backseat, hands on the headrests of the seats in front of me, singing along with my mom and paul simon at the top of my lungs.

it's one of my favorite memories.
