If it is really cold, I add a whole woolen thing under the t-shirt and then above t-shirt some of my lovely woolen sweaters knitted by my wife. I love baggy overalls, but I must also admit that some of my overalls bought some years ago begin to be too narrow (cannot understand why !:)) and then to duvets, yes, I know duvets, sometimes I just sleep under a duvet ! really nice !

My daughter-in-law is doing the same at her university. Most of the older neighbors in the U.S. are trying to make the Medicare Part D decisions. (I'm not quite old enough for that yet.) So, I am trying to remain quiet in the background as I go about my days. That's a benefit of being 60 and unemployed. Not old enough for some stuff and too old (or too retired) for other stuff. Good luck with your grants. By the way, I have noticed that I do my best work in bibs. Maya Niels,
