The emotion of smell…for the first time in more than 50 years, Eli has found a pizzeria (Nino’s Pizzeria at 1330 Culver Road) where ‘inside the pizzeria it smells like it did when I was only 8 years old’…
I did not know my husband when he was 8 years old. I was busy building my own cell memory collection of smells…melting blue moon ice cream on the floor of the car, wind whipped flax and wheat spreading along the edges of quiet highways in South Dakota, the smell of deep, deep well water…green bath soap and the quiet perfume of lilacs spreading in spring dirt…
