On my way to my beloved Edinburgh for the weekend with some time to kill.

I've already seen my good friend John Irving's gravesite, so I might snap a picture of his birthplace on Princes Street this time since I'm passing by anyway.

(Pretty sure it's a Boots chemist now, but it is interesting nevertheless!)

City of Fear (1959)

"You could tell them it won't wipe out the whole city. There's not enough of it, it's not a bomb. However... it will contaminate entire farms, milk, butter, eggs; get carried into markets on meat and produce, into theatres and restaurants. Get carried around by people on their clothes, on their shoes, on insects and birds, and on children. Then you'll have to describe the symptoms to watch out for: hoarse coughing, heavy sweat, horrible retching. Then the blood begins to break down, then the cells. If you merely touch your skin, the watered blood just oozes out of your pores. Finally you haemorrhage internally - blood fills the lungs. I doubt if anyone could explain that calmly to three million people without touching off the worst panic in history."

This is insane! It's a former carriage house built in the mid-1800s in New York City. They changed the street address to make it a part of the condo building next door. So, now it's a 3bd, 3ba condo priced at $7M and b/c it's part of a boutique condominium with 24/7 concierge services, a live-in resident manager, and only six units, you also pay a $6,777mo. HOA. (So, the concierge is in another building. How does that work?)

It has also been completely renovated.

Look at how tiny the living/dining room is. They also put in a huge skylight.

The kitchen is pretty nice. I like the marble (quartz?) backsplash and pale gray cabinetry. That concludes the 1st fl.

Then, you go up to the bedrooms.

The bedroom on this side is nice.

It has a lovely en-suite.

This is also a nice room.

And, it also has a beautiful en-suite.

So, apparently, the 3rd bd. is down in the basement.

When we talk about memories, we also talk about how we can store them. Photos and personal objects are a great example of this and we even see Louis doing it over the course of the season, but what about Daniel?

I was noticing how the picture frames are hidden or seem "empty" when we look at the picture of the street on the television, for example:

Daniel's house is full of books, a lot of information and knowledge occupies this old man's mind and yet there seems to be no room left for the memories that really matter, because they are empty or hidden.

Memories like puzzles that you can't finish…

Memories like locked files that you need to unlock…

Memories hidden in boxes that someone forces you to open…

Memories stored in other boxes, put there by yourself, that you need to look for…

Memories marked on your skin that still hurt…

Memories with a taste of what is missing...

Memories that are fever dreams...

And memories that you still dream about…

“Your memory is a monster; you forget—it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you—and summons them to your recall with will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!” ― John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany
