Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

House Hat

It’s mid-December, and I still haven’t turned on my boiler. Using space heaters makes the electricity bill higher, but oil for the boiler is even more expensive. Or maybe it isn’t. I should call the company and ask them what the price per gallon is.

My house is cold because of the boiler being off. To help keep me warmer, I wear a hat all the time at home. It’s an old winter hat I found in the boxes of dry-cleaned clothing the insurance company delivered to my house after the fire. It’s a warm hat. It’s my house hat.

    Sure – house hat, house slippers, house coat – that makes perfect sense. Do you also have a house hat for Gus? Poor kid is naked all the time…..

      Gus doesn’t need a hat. He gets a space heater which he does not share with me, even when my head is cold.

    You will feel right at home here.

    Please turn on your boiler. I think you will find the price of oil a bit lower now. The COLD air is coming your way!

    You look so cute in that picture…..like a little kid for some reason.

    So…..whose house is the coldest ; yours, Lauren’s or mine?

    • Brad

      I don’t think it’s mine. You and Lauren probably have me beat by a long shot.

    Hi, everyone! PSA: Rosie and I are meeting at the Panera by Calvert Hall today (12-18-14) at 12:30 for lunch if anyone’s in the area…?

    …oh, and the hat does look snuggly indeed. ‘Course, perhaps longer hair would effect the same result? Just a thought…
