Z(E)N

Ted, who has beautiful handwriting, recounted again last night at dinner at the Holdens the time in his life when he was not able to properly form the letter 'n' on paper. To accomplish an 'n' he would rotate the page, write 'z', and return the page to its former angle to continue writing. Then for the first time in my hearing, Ted elaborated that he had been hospitalized for this ailment, isolated from other patients, for fear his condition might be infectious. Rezsin vouched for the condition, not for the hospitalization.
