O Talking Heads' This Must Be the Place, 1982. IN THE By Michelle Aviña C M N A P Y Qüentin coffee Coatepec-Xico Veracruz with notes of red apple, chocolate, bourbon, and spices, $12.50, at quentin.mx. S ometimes it's a scent; other times, just a fleeting moment. These things we remember — fragments in a life of so many things. They come and go, and often circle back, but are rarely the same, serving as reminders of a different time. A time when cares were few and our perspectives were different. Home … Sometimes beautiful, other times comforting … Sights, smells, and shapes that help to define the world as we have come to see it. Walking the streets of DF in Ray-Bans with red lipstick brings me back to the place I grew up, reading Palinuro of México, being a kid who felt like I ruled my little universe. Twenty-seven years later, it's changed, but the fragments are still there, and in those moments nothing has changed except the faces. Reconnecting. Friends. Drinks. Home.
