Dance of the Seven Coats

Jan. 11, 2004 | BOSTON (AP) -- Temperatures dropped well below zero Saturday across the Northeast, making it the coldest day in a decade for some cities and keeping all but the hardiest people indoors.

I was one of the hardiest people last night. I went out to a sculpture exhibit at Man Ray and then danced like a fast-forwarded dervish

The last time it was that cold, a decade ago, it made the rear glass door of my Cambridge apartment shatter. Fortunately it was double-glazed and only the outer pane went. Unfortunately I wasn't there to see it happen. But it was a freakish occurrence. The temperature had dropped something like twenty degrees Fahrenheit in about an hour while I was visiting a friend. When I came back, the tempered glass of the outer pane had all cracked into quarter-inch-wide bits, which were still mostly holding together like puzzle pieces in a network that sagged and bulged out from the frame. I had to knock them out of the frame just to open the door.

I'm pretty sure that somebody didn't just toss a rock at the door or something, because the door was recessed into the ground in a well that was invisible from the street, and people rarely went back there apart from me.

That was an excellent entry. Good job on everything and on being an adventurous guy who can dance!
