Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
~ Steven Wright.
- - - - -When I went back to Athens to visit, Maddie and Elizabeth and I toured town. I commented on things that were the same and things that had changed since I was there. We drove past a lot of things and I said, "That wasn't here when I was here." Then we drove past a restaurant - "Lam's Garden." I said, "That restaurant was here when I was here."
Elizabeth said she went to school with the kid whose family owns it. I said, "Really? Does he have a sister named 'Mary Hattalyttle'?"
She paused. And then - with a confused expression she said, "Mary Hattalyttle..?"
Maddie laughed.
Elizabeth, looking disgusted, said, "Ha ha. Very funny."
I said, "Elizabeth, it was worth driving seven hours just for that."
