Oddities of Growing Old #1

-
 I truly don't even know where to begin when it comes to describing the oddities that I am discoverying as the man and I grow older. For one, he has always  attempted to freeze us to death because he likes it cold. The dead of winter and its only 40° outside and he will have all the windows in the house open and the a/c turned on.
