A hat you should be wearing.

It was 22-degrees this morning when I woke up. That said, I see young people responding to the cold in one of two ways.

There are those who are apocalyptic. They say, "I'm freezing." "It's so cold." "I can't stand this weather." They react to what is normal weather like Mr. Antrobus in The Skin of Our Teeth, that is, like another Ice Age is coming. Boys and girls, 22-degrees is normal weather in December.

Then there are those who react differently. They wear no hat and no gloves. They don't button up. Some of them are still traipsing about in flip-flops and tee-shirts. To them I say, "Are you meshuggeh? It's cold outside."

So here's the Rabbi's advice. Dress properly and don't complain.
