How to survive a frigid winter.

Really, I'm able to take winter in stride.  Even in the worst of times. In blustery and frigid Minnesota. Though admitting that most winters, I flee. For weeks and months.  To warmer climes. In Sardinia, the land of my Italian amore Cristina. But please don't get me wrong.  I love Minnesota. I'm capable of surviving a Minnesota winter, and loving it. Because that's my nature. I could even handle winter in Siberia. Or in the Arctic. Of course, I'd like my amore there, too. To help keep me warm.  --Jim Broede
