The old in cold

I'm feeling the old in Adult and the old in cold, as in this unbelievably cold weather. If I wasn't an AOA, and just an Adult, could I retire to warmer climes? Hmm ... may be time to grow up.
Nevertheless, I have my Electronic Publishing project up on the Star Hoppers, and all the links work (at least in Safari). I also finished the final paper and am ready to brave the twenty degree temperatures and forty mile per hour wind gusts to go to class tomorrow night. Yes!!
And though this old body wants to give in to winter and hibernate beneath a down comforter with hot tea and old movies, instead I am going to construct (yes, by hand) a beautiful book of poetry for my Poetry Workshop. And even then, I shall not succumb to winter. Oh no, I will clean, cook and shop for Christmas presents. And decorate the house, thankful that the outside lights are already up. Then perhaps, before the children are home asking why there's nothing to eat, I shall have a few snug moments under the down comforter. I hope you get to have a few cozy, comforting moments in the next week also. There has to be something to like about winter.
