Bring On The Deep Freeze
I like cold weather. I’m not a skier or a skater or a curler, but I simply feel more comfortable when it’s cold out. My philosophy has always been that when it get cold, you can always put more clothes on. When it’s hot, there’s a limit before you’re breaking decency laws. As a lifelong Midwesterner, I take pride in the cold weather. I think it keeps the tourist students out. In contrast, if you go to, say, UC-Santa Barbara or Stanford, you could just be going to get your surf on or have a good tan. At this university, if you’re here, you want to be here, and you’re serious about it. I don’t want to be too elitist about it, though, or else some Minnesotan will read this and get all high and mighty. Some people, such as my sister (who has circulation problems), think anything below 50 is cause for a sweater and a jacket. But you really need to have a different measuring stick when it gets cold. My simple, empirical metric is that it is cold when I breathe in through my nose, and my snot freezes.
It is cold today.

You know, there’s really not enough material regarding Bruce on this page. What about Bruce’s favorite movies? or His favorite books? Huh? Don’t you think the people want to know? You owe it to your fans.
