Thanks Mike (and sorry for the delay responding).

The article was helpful, not only in explaining the year gap but also how your frequent retelling of the anecdotes was likely integral to your capacity for literary recall. It's a compelling mosaic of stories, wonderfully told. Bad Call made my inner New Yorker vibrate excitedly and experience a sense of nostalgia for an era in the city I am too young to have known.
