... A senior moment

Virginia Hanley

Jini:  I think that's a very good idea. I'll write it down on the list. (Pause) Where is my pen? Jim:  You had it a minute ago. Kay:  Is it under those papers? Ella: Did you put it in your pocketbook? Jim:  How about behind those books? Kay:  There it is on the floor. Jini:  Oh, good! (Long pause) What was it I was going to write down? April 7, 2000
