What to do? Well, what I did was put it out of my mind completely.

A couple of days later I was sitting in a luncheonette near the Philadelphia Inquirer that serves a very good cheesesteak. While I was waiting for mine I had a cup of coffee and, at the very first sip, had a Proustian moment: The coffee tasted exactly like the coffee that had been served decades before in a diner my grandmother and I used to stop into every morning.
