Don't let JL see this post, please. He'll be discussing the otioseness of it
for 3 years. Think of the philosophical implicatures -- Oh my! And what will
he make of A = A? Oh no! No, I can't bear to think of it.
Quick, see if you can stop it's transmission before it reaches the swimming
pool and we all drown in his wild world of words.

This morning, my son was experimenting with the cat: don't worry it's not as
bad as it sounds. He was sticking his finger near the cat's mouth and
"whiskers" would lick it -- we had just eaten toast and the buttery remains
were too much to handle. Matthew giggled. I said "it feels funny right?" He
agreed "yeah" and giggled some more. I said "just like sandpaper" and he said
"no, just like a cat's tongue.
I think I may learn something from this guy yet.
