	Yeah - I do that all the time. Sometimes specific things will remind
me of a person because I connect that person with it because of past
incidents or because I know that the person really likes that thing
(like, say, drinking fountains, pizza, truffles, or Barry Manilow
songs.) And sometimes I'll just see something and wonder if he'll like
it. I really like it because it makes things that used to be ordinary,
dull, or just mildly pleasing, really special. It's the same concept as
in The Little Prince when the fox said that he would be reminded of the
little prince whenever he saw the wheat fields because they were the
same colour as the prince's hair. That was what would make formerly
meaningless wheat fields very special to him. I never thought that 
hearing a Barry Manilow song would make me feel so good...
