"They" say the sense of smell is closely linked with memory I never know how else to say where I get that-- Does Eva Green playing an epidemiologist in "Perfect Sense" count? Probably not, but there is confirmation in the smell of coffee each morning My dad made coffee in an old drip-brew; My mom makes coffee in a French press I assume my dad still uses a drip brew-- it's the one he used the last time I visited him That smell brings back family memories, when everything seemed good everything seemed whole the pieces all fit, and there were no cracks even though I know now it was just a facade and couldn't last, and it leaves an ugly aftertaste Like bitter coffee from an old drip-brew
