Today's news: Virent Ova! Viret Perna!! (CP) - Green Eggs and Ham is an easy read. After all, the late Theodore Geisel, belovedly known as Dr. Seuss, wrote it after his editor challenged him to do a book in just 50 words. But have you tried it in Latin? Retitled Virent Ova! Viret Perna!! the Seuss classic has been rendered into Latin by Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers Inc. of Wauconda, Ill. The target audience is "people who took Latin in school and have fond remembrance of it, teachers and students who take Latin - and, of course, Seuss fans," Kelly Hughes, a spokeswoman for the publisher, said Wednesday. 2:07:50 PM     Tights, Tendus and all Things French  Last night I resumed my ballet classes. This is a new group, with a new teacher. Most of the people in the class are much younger than me, have far more flexible bodies, and have had much more dance training. In fact, one women used to dance at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet! Nonetheless, I will try to fake it. If nothing else, it will be great exercise. This morning, I am off to my first French class in a couple of years. My work pays for these classes, so I try to take them whenever I can. A bientot! 9:19:17 AM
