Recently,

they caught up with

a movie

from

1993,

“The Remains of the Day.”

His wife said, “That

is why.” “Why?”

Because at the time

they both were

remains of the day,

their spouses having

died in that year

one day.

They noticed Christ-

opher Reeves could

move his arms and

legs. When they

awoke several years

later, he was a

quadriplegic because

of a fall from a horse.

He was the remains

of the day.

Back then he could get

up and play

on the English country-

side, at a fox hunt back

in the day,

in 1993,

the year the

couple were amnesiacs;

Had they seen it? They

couldn’t remember

anyway.

It still seems very

recently,

but at the same time,

“Remains of the Day,”

still seems eons away.
