Sunset
My brother, Brent, was bemoaning the fact that his memory is failing. "I put a jar of mayo back in the cupboard instead of the fridge." he told me when he arrived last night. Poor boy. This morning, we drove into town for breakfast and I saw that the library wasn't open. "Guess the volunteer for today didn't show up," I disdainfully remarked. We ate, I got my mail and we drove to the grocery store to pick up supplies. On the way home, I stopped at the post office to pick up my mail. Got a déjà vu feeling and realized I'd done that earlier. Brent didn't say anything as I started up the car again. Drove past the library, saw it was open, so parked in the lot. Suddenly realized that when I had first checked, it was still an hour before their opening time. Brent realized it too. To his credit, all he said was "Gee, I don't feel so bad now."

I was sure you were going to say that you realized that you were the volunteer. Guess you're not that far gone yet. Makes me feel better anyway.

I was thinking the same thing as Anita.
