Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

The Polar Vortex and burning calories.



     It was a minus twelve degrees yesterday when I scooped snow.  It is minus twelve degrees this morning as I set out to take the dog for a very short walk.  The house seems chilly all the time.  So why aren't I skinny?
     New research shows that mild cold helps with weight loss and that shivering can be as good as exercise for burning calories. I guess that is a good thing???
