I put things on in twos. I wear two pairs of socks, one on top of the other, two pairs of gloves, same, a sweatshirt under my coat, and a hat under my coat hood. On particularly cold days, I will wear two pairs of pants. It looks ridiculous, as certain family members will gleefully attest. But after three hours of walking, I am more concerned about feeling my fingers than about anyone\u2019s aesthetic assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get plenty of attention when I\u2019m out and about, but it\u2019s due less to my weird ensembles than to my weird behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A man and his girlfriend stop to watch me as I jump up to grab a higher branch of a serviceberry bush.
