I just stopped in at one of the local fast food places to grab lunch. I used to stop in here a couple of times a week, but now I only drive through about every 3 weeks or so. Today, as I walked through the door, the smell instantly brought to mind a friend of mine. We had gone to school together and then worked together up until I was laid off. We used to meet up for lunch at this place, mainly because she loved it. We would talk politics, religion, sports, life and music over a long lunch. It was always refreshing and enjoyable. Last year she moved to DC after accepting a wonderful job. I miss those conversations. I miss her more than I thought I did.
I never knew that I had tied that restaurant's smell to her until today.
