Warming up

 I'm not quite sure how, but my dad and Desiree ended up doing variations on a theme in addressing my topic of warming up.

My dad went first:

stomp the snow off boots
take gloves off then take boots off
coat off then brandy.

Then Desiree followed up:

Stomp the snow off boots
Take gloves off then take boots off
Coat off….hot shower.

Christine, willing to depart from the template, offered this:

Some tomato soup
And a grilled cheese sandwich should
Do the trick nicely.
