And thinking about--here: layers of "reflective nostalgia" hidden inside of each other--how Phil and I had a tiny Parisian apartment for one month in the summer of 2010 and we would turn on this radio station, while cooking dinner, called "Nostalgie" (Nostalgie - Wikipedia) . . . everything smelled like wet towels. I had terrible insomnia. It was wonderful.
