It's 1945, I sit in a brooklyn kitchen, fascinated by an arrangement of cogs on black velvet. I am sixteen years old.

It is 1985. My friends take a picture of me while I throw out my back dancing to 'Maniac'. I am fifty-six years old.

Excuse me, Ben.

How do you keep pulling out specific things from my childhood that no one around me knows about?

Are you magic?

I feel you!

I've been doing playthroughs of my NES JRPG for a show this weekend.
