List #1: Things That Remind Zane of Childhood

-Slinky Dogs
-Light Bright
-Pancakes in Shapes
-Popsicles, Fudgecicles, Freezer Pops, et al.
-Jones Beach
-VW Buses
-Padded Jansport Backpack Straps
-House Plants in Fake Terra Cotta Pots
-Steely Dan

Some of these things I remember fondly, others carry associations that tweak my stomach in stress. I curl my toes and bite my lip and shake my head trying to clear out the frustration and embarrassment of a certain day. The good times grow thin in my memory, becoming concepts and narration, while the bad times stay tangible, and oh so easy to recall.
