Finding those old favorite jeans is a treasure! When you really like them you end up keeping them even if they don't fit for a decade or more.

Down here I can't match your cold preparations - but last night I did put a wool blanket over the thermal blanket on my bed. This week I'd been using a little lap quilt over my legs but that wasn't going to be enough. And I have a long-sleeved Eddie Bauer chambray shirt in the SUV in case it cools when I'm out. In the house I haven't moved the big heat pump thermostat controller from cool to heat yet.
