Frigid conditions that helped get this issue out: Paolo's first sled ride; sub-50-degree water at Aquatic Park—no wet suits allowed; a tense phone call with "Miss Williams"; cold beers at a warm send-off (bye, Danny!); postholiday credit card statements; dinosaur ice; attempting to thaw fact-check hands after a gloveless bike ride; the "too cool for school" zone at Toad Hall on New Year's Eve; Vita Coco; the sad (and too late) realization that we should have put on the snow chains; Facebook updates about a new girlfriend; in-law reunions; Ducks and Tigers fans watching the BCS title game in the same bar; slogging to work through 2 feet of snow after the Christmas blizzard; breaking out the vintage wool sweater dress; cold-stiffened GU at mile 11; Nicki Minaj's verses on "Roman's Revenge"; Firestone Riesling '08; socks in bed; researching "Mediterranean climate" to verify the accuracy of a tweet; Grabber Hand Warmers; "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele; relations between DLF and JKF after the Great Mail Episode of 2010; steely stares while wearing Uggs.
