Shared Bodily Warmth

b"I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, warm, black leather poppa chair in my living room in my bedroom slippers and my black bathrobe with the word Wiz embroidered in gold thread script on the left side, enjoying a real fire in the fireplace, and the sight of my Lady Wonder Wench dressed in her red Beatles Forever sweat shirt, a pair of pink sweat pants that respect and prioritize curves, and a pair of big, old, beaten up fuzzy slippers. It's a good life. A much better one than some guys have. \\n\\tFor example, an email just came pouring in from Proud Podcast Participant Bruce. It says: Just got off the phone with a friend who lives in Long Prairie, Minnesota. She said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is 32 below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. Wind chill is -59. She says her husband has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. She says that if it gets much worse, she may have to let him in."
