   	The anecdote started out drifting so badly I considered giving   
   up on it and summarizing it as ``something about a guy with a bear   
   costume''; I'm glad it came to a neat point, but it did need a better   
   narrative flow.

   	For what it's worth, I used to have a pair of bear-foot   
   slippers and they were very nice for sleeping in.  It may have been   
   related to being in upstate New York where the temperature drops   
   below freezing in mid-October and never gets back above.

   	You may be right.  It was certainly one of them.
