Senior Center

A sea of gray hair little old ladies, some kind of feisty. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they gather for company, gossip and serious card playing. It did not take dad much effort to convinced them to let me speak during their pot-luck lunch. The room was packed. Not because they wanted to hear about the Cosmic Muffin, but because the food was free. After lunch they tentatively listened to me, but I was sensitive to not delay their rummy games. In the end I sold two books. I might have sold more if...
1. I had an opportunity to advertise my appearance so they could have brought their wallets.
2. I came at the beginning of the month so they had their social security checks.
3. The book is printed in large print.
