“We forget all too soon the things we thought we never could forget. We forget the loves and betrayals alike, forget what we whispered, what we screamed, forget who we are.” *

Comfort food. What is yours? Ice cream, maybe. Maybe it isn’t food at all, but rather the smell of laundry done in a specific manner. It could even be the feel of warmed seat in winter. It is what you are. But whatever it is, it has the trigger that brings it all back. For me it is TV.

I just got 7000 channels with the installation of digital TV yesterday. It’s weird that somehow, I don’t end up on HBO Z—I felt sure that I would be a frequent user of this channel. I instead find myself watching channel 58: We, Women’s Entertainment. This is not a new channel, it was part of my previous Time Warner cable package. We, the channel, I have had for at least a year, and even though the premise of this channel seems promising, I never watch it. It always seems to be playing Chasing Amy.

But tonight it’s Jenny . . . Love Story.
