Go figure. As for the cold issue, perhaps you're right in that it may have something to do with your being nearly a vegetarian meal. ;-) Pete, I really need to try that trick with writing–silly as it may sound, it’s never occurred to me to do that with writing!

I fully accept the wisdom of overcoming that horrible split second — the problem for me is that it's not a split second. It seems to go on and on and by the time I've warmed up I've cooled down. The "just five minutes" trick works wonders for many things, though. It even works (sometimes) for writing. Maybe I should employ it more often.
