was sounding really good until you mentioned putting fennel in it. I don't know if I am allergic to it or if it just upsets my digestive system, but it does a number on me.

I feel for Alex walking around campus in the Arctic blast. Most teens don't seem to feel it so much. I went to college with a guy who went barefoot all the time. Even when it was frigid outside or snow on the ground, he eschewed wearing shoes, but then I rarely wore a coat when walking on campus. I guess we felt invincible at that age.

I hope you stay warm and cozy.

Love Carole King and James Taylor!
