Let’s pick up where we left off yesterday.
Oh now, I forgot what I was going to say.
Ever forget what your phone number is,
blaming your hesitation on the fact that
you never call yourself? That happens to
me occasionally when I have to give out
my address. 115...er...a, No! 116...um…
Hold on, gotta get a piece of mail I’ve
received. There it is, hold on a second.
Oh shit! It’s the gas bill I forgot to pay.
Don’t bother, I’ll call you back shortly.
What was your phone number again?
I had it just a minute ago. Good thing
I gave up my car a time ago. Kept for-
getting where I put the damned keys.
You mean my cell phone keeps a record
of the number I called before? And
Alexa can remind me on the day the
gas bill needs to be paid? But I did
forget what I was about to say. Oh,
it wasn’t you I talked with yesterday?
