Today's concept is smell memories. Went down to work yesterday. The custodian had stripped and buffed the floors, and was starting to wax them. Floor wax! Flashback. Robert Kennedy assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan. I was home sick from junior high school. Mom was hosting her bridge club that evening, so all the blue dining chairs were lined up in the living room. She was mopping the dining room floor. I was watching the tv news coverage. Walter Cronkite. Mop & Glo. Forever linked. Do The Bump on over to the Institute of Smell!
And yes, bridge club was on Wednesday nights. The front page is from the New York Times the next day, Thursday, June 6, 1968.
