Side note: How futuristic would that sound to teenage me, who made mixtapes to listen to on my boom box and Walkman?! Once again, the writers […]

“Elephants never forget…” That’s what his dad said, after giving me a cute stuffed animal elephant (not the one pictured here), that he and his wife/my old friend’s mom found for me while boot (a.k.a. garage/rummage) sale shopping the previous weekend.
