Something better than a fur coat.

I understand why bears hibernate. Their way of escaping the bitter cold. They wear thick furry coats, of course. Which keep them warm. But they go to bed and probably dream. Warm and sweet dreams. Of rollicking through the woods. In the summertime. So very nice to escape into dreams. But for me, the dream will soon be real. Living the winter in a balmy Mediterranean island paradise. With no need for a fur coat. Instead, I’ll have my Italian true love to keep me warm. -- Jim Broede
