Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Frank getting toasty
          When I was a kid, sitting on the radiator was the best way to warm up after an afternoon sledding or skating.  The frost would drip from our eyebrows and hair and the bright red flush of our cheeks would slowly (and somewhat painfully) fade back to flesh tone.  The radiator was also great for drying mittens and scarves, making them toasty for the next round outside.  
          I just can't "warm up" to the forced air heat system we have today.  Nostalgic sigh....Now on frigid days, I cuddle up with a good book, a cozy blanket, and a cup of steaming hot tea or cocoa.  I don't even have to play outside first to enjoy it!
        Frank has embraced the joys of radiant heat.  In fact, when the take-out pizza arrived last night, he claimed it as his own personal bun warmer.  Well played, Frank!
