GOOD GUESS

A MAN is standing on a corner in a park. A SECOND MAN approaches.

SECOND MAN

Guess what number I'm thinking of.

MAN

The number 76.

SECOND MAN

That is correct.

MAN

But that's not all you're thinking of. You're thinking how the color of the leaves at this time of year are very unique -- just a tinge of orange arond the edges as they begin to fully turn. And how this orange outline is in a many ways the most beautiful phase of the leaves turning, but it's the phase that exists for the shortest amount of time. These orange-rimmed leaves here will be a completely differently color even by tomorrow morning. And you remember noticing that last year and realizing that you probably have not thought about that at all in the intervening year. And you were wondering how many memories are like that -- buried but dormant, waiting to be awoken -- ready to surprise you with their vibrancy. And you're thinking that a lot of things that seem lost to you might be re-born again at surprising times when the right scent or color or feeling provokes it back into your conscious brain.

SECOND MAN

No I wasn't thinking that.

MAN

Oh, what were you thinking?

SECOND MAN

About how I like pancakes.

MAN

Same thing.
