One possibility, though, is that he typed it at some point, but there was an earlier edit he forgot. Memory can be a selective thing. What you would look for, if going further into this, is the first time he recalled this and where and to whom. Ultimately, though, it is not a critical piece of information. Just a nice bit of trivia, and a nice story. BTW, Jimmy's speech last night was very nice. Have there been any reports yet about that event?
