Password: SeniorMoment. Patricia Inc. Bunin

a guess what? — text message — while she was on the phone.

      By then I was so drawn into her moment that it became my own.

      What, I wondered, might I text my bench mate so I could talk to her in her own language? This, of course, assuming that I could actually text, which in case you are wondering, I have not yet learned but it’s on my to-do list.

      So I took out the pad and pen I keep in my purse and enjoying the silence of ink on paper, printed in large letters, “Ouch: You’re stepping on my moment.”
