It's Another Happy Monday Down at Funky Cafe

The Turkish pop music videos are blasting on screens mercifully out of my vision and the students are beginning to arrive at school. The students have little inclination to do any speaking, much less in English at this hour of the morning. On the way up to the Cafe this morning I ran into two very affectionate cats. The first followed me a whole block, even crossing a busy street to keep up with me. I lost him when a cloud of floating seeds like dandelions drifted across the sidewalk and he turned to chase those.

The second sat next to an apartment building's gate and made a funny gesture when I came over to pet it.

Give me some of that luck, lucky cat.
