putting the \"sweat\" in sweater

Last night Leah noticed a sweater on the shelf that I hadn't worn in some years, a sweater which she had in fact given me for Christmas. Why not? Well, the problem is it's kind of warm... in fact, the warmest garment I have ever worn, including my winter coat. An acceptable answer.

Well, when today dawned at two degrees below zero or so, I figured there was no better day than today to try it out again, and so I did. At least, I wore it when I was outside; I would not have survived if I had kept in on in the classroom, which anyways is kept at about 80°. Even outside though, I must say I was well more than warm enough when I was walking with the dog, to the extent that I had to take off my hat and mittens to keep from overheating completely. At under 10°F. Now that's an impressive sweater!
