When in Doubt Do!
One winter day several years ago I found myself having lunch at the seaside cottage of some friends, a couple in their 20s. the other guest was a retired college professor, a marvelous old gentleman, still straight as a lance after seven decades of living . the four of us had planned a walk on the beach after lunch. but as gusts of wind shook the house and occasional pellets of sleet hissed against the windows, our hosts’ enthusiasm dwindled.
sorry said the wife but nobody’s going to get me out in this weather.
that’s right, her husband agreed comfortably. why catch a cold when you can sit by a fire and watch the world go by on TV ?”
We left them preparing to do just that. but when we came to our cars, I was astonished to see the professor open the trunk of his ancient sedan and take out an ax. 
nice
