Odds and Ends

I have good news and bad news.

The bad news is that I got in a traffic accident while riding the city bus and broke my leg. The good news is that I'm writing this on April Fool's Day, so I was just joking.

My cat is so strange. He likes to sleep under the covers (never seen a cat do that before) and he always talks with his mouth full, That is, he meows for me to feed him, and when I do, he doesn't stop meowing while he eats. Only of course it comes out rather strange, a sort of - megreeeoow. I am trying to teach him to use the toliet instead of his litter box. Amazingly, it seems to be working. I might have success in a few weeks.

I made rice-crispie treats for my students at English corner last week. I found a box of rice crispies in the imported section of the grocery store. The marshmellows they have here are quite a bit harder and stickier than American marshmellows, but they worked alright. The students loved them.
