RE: good morning/weather

Pam - Harkening back to previous conversations, I half caught an
interesting news story on NPR (was working and only focused on snatches
of the story)the other day about a new study indicating that people who
were extremely cold natured seemed to be the victims of highly efficient
mitochondrial activity - which is good news for the long term health
outlook.   As soon as I can find a few spare minutes, I'm going to do
some research - it sounded like a fascinating study.  Might make some of
my winter misery worth bearing - or at least that's what I'm telling
myself!

My folks said it was sub-zero in NE PA now - y'all must have a slight
masochistic streak to endure such conditions. Or you're just a heck of a
lot tougher than me. 70 degrees today but cooler (back to highs in the
50's) by the weekend.
