Dead of Winter
How to make it through the worst of the wild, cold winds of winter?
Some say go to Florida. Others prefer to fly to Hawaii. But those are far more expensive than a really good book,
and tradition touts that trick to triumph in the end.
Then again, you just can't beat a bed that's made of four folded-over cardboard boxes topped by a old blue blanket folded four times, covered with a polyester pillow that is 6" thick, and then add another 4" thick soft poly topping!
Oh, what a place for old, cold bones! Let the winter wind howl, let the snow fall fast and fly free, let the darkness grip the world, but – here! – here there is light and warmth and many a thump of a mighty tail.
