Nostalgia

It is funny how things come up  and you see things you haven’t seen in a long time and it ties into your current experiences in ways you don’t expect. After my last post I happened to be looking through some scans of photos from the 90s my dad sent and one thing stuck out. There was a photo of me sitting on a bench in Zurich opening a bottle of water after our flight from Atlanta. That isn’t all that surprising, but something struck me, not only was my trusty Flik Flak on my wrist but there was another watch on there too - full Nicolas Hayek style. I had completely forgotten about that watch. Admittedly I can’t recall what it was exactly but I have hazy memories of it having a black case and dial but not much beyond that. I’ll have to see if it is hiding in a box somewhere at my parent’s next time I visit… 

Nostalgia - it’s delicate, but potent.
