> At my age, life sometimes seems really weird. When I was a graduate student, circa 1944, my wife and I lived in student housing consisting of a two-room oil-heated shack. We adopted a kitten that we found on our windowsill. Across from us lived another couple, the man a law student. We got to know them when we accused them (jokingly) of stealing our cat, who was spending as much time in their house as in ours.
