Take a Deep Breath · Sunday November 13, 2011 by Julie
I asked Bob if he would consider wearing long pants when he goes out on the boat. “Maybe you’re getting so staggering-around cold because you’re not wearing enough clothing.”
“I’m sympathetic to the idea of keeping warm,” he said. “I agree with that part. But wearing pants is just mythology. Look at the Tierra del Fuegans.”
“You mean you think you would be warmer if you took your shorts off, instead of switching them out to long pants?”
“When they get wet, long pants wick your body heat away.”
I started laughing.
“Think about it. Take a deep breath,” he said.
So, I’m thinking about it.
