Walking into the family home, smelling a certain cologne, listening to a song- they can all bring us to a distant time and place.  This time, it was a Switchfoot song- a part about "it's my birthday tomorrow... I was born this Thursday, 22 years ago..."  I listened to that song a lot the summer I turned 21.  That was over 5 years ago, and the memory is so fresh!

now I'm off to finish a list of things before socializing!
