Today: Take a Layered Approach.

I like to misuse corporate jargon whenever possible.  I try to integrate phrases or buzz words like circle back, best practices, taking a 10,000 ft. view, and my most favorite, subvert the dominant paradigm, when least proper or sensible.  If I were playing Buzzword Bingo against myself, I’d probably… always win.

Speaking of winning (even though the good guys lost), there was  a BC v. Stinks to BU hockey game on Friday night.  Unfortunately my older brother was sick, but fortunately, he offered us his tickets for the game.  Thanks, Jimmy!  Here’s the really cool (Awful pun? Intended!) part:  the game was outdoors, at Fenway Park.

And this, folks, is why I took a layered approach:

I bundled up to the point of being smoking hot.  And who knows, I may have even looked good.  Layering up inside, with the heat on?  Not the most comfortable plan.

• Layer 1: Unmentionables and a second application of antiperspirant. TMI?  Sorry that I’m not sorry.
• Layer 2 and 2.5: Tank top.  Long sleeved tee-shirt and leggings, topped with knee socks.  This is more of a “don’t look” than a look.
• Layer 3: Super Fan tee-shirt (obvi), jeans, very warm socks (Thanks, Santa!)… and a look of slight discomfort.
• Layer 4: Sweater or fleece.  And a quick respite in front of the fan.
• Final layer: Jacket, mittens, my Harry Potter Boston College scarf and my Hunter wellies.  Plus feelings of dizziness and disorientation.

I packed a few snacks and a bottle of water (which, surprisingly, was not promptly confiscated at the Park), my digicam, an extra pair of gloves, a winter hat and–most importantly–my winning attitude.  Off we went to Fenway to watch the boys in maroon and gold play ball.  With a hockey puck.
