When I was much younger I loved a particular episode of Mork and Mindy. It grew on me and re-surfaced as an adult.
Mork gives some well-intended but loathsome gifts one Christmas episode. He gets ridiculed by the mean-girl character and asks what he did wrong?
He's told he did nothing wrong, that it is the classic "thought" behind the gift that is important.
Mork, being an alien, misunderstands and takes them literally. He tells them he can give them an actual "thought". He makes a funny noise and all 3 support characters reveal some wonderful thought they were brought back to. Mindy remembers a lost dog returning. The dad remembers holding his infant daughter for the first time. You get the idea.
I'm not Mork, but I thought I had come close.
When I listen to music, something sometimes happens. I'm probably not unique in this, but certain songs on certain days can almost transport me back to an earlier moment in my life. I can't control the association and they are not all good ones. I've started a trend on Twitter called "#MINDTRAVEL where you tell people the song and the forever-association you have attached to it. I'm making up the rules as I go but I post updates when I think of any new rules.
