I am cold. I have been nudging the thermostat up all evening. At my last check, it read 76 degrees. And I am still cold.

I called B to tell her that. She is miserable with the 400th cold she has had since Thanksgiving, and yet I wanted her to know that I am cold.

Now, I have way too much blubber on my body to be cold. Truly, it is a veritable mystery. I mean, really, think about it. 76 degrees is enough to send me to my knees, to cloud my mind and tremble my limbs. 76 is stinking hot for me.

So, please tell me...why is 76 so blasted cold just now?
