Last Monday is a column that appears the last Monday of the month.
Recently I realized that I didn’t know where the ‘z’ key was on my computer’s keyboard. My memory’s been packing its things before leaving altogether, but I thought I could still type.
Then, when in reference to prison cops I tried to type lazy, I couldn’t. I couldn’t remember where the ‘z‘ key was. I hadn’t had to look for a letter on a keyboard since nineteen sixty, and now I had to figure out how to type a z. I did think my left hand should be involved. I didn’t know which finger to use or what to do with it, so I simply took my hands away and looked for z key. That worked.
So far, so good.

Well, you found it. So no need to take your hands off the typer again.
BTW: My brother-in-law spent a week in my man cave. I thought of the few books on my bookshelf he might like your book “Can He Say That”. He read it cover to cover before he left.
Glad you found the “z” and other letters too!
