I have a double problem. I stay in Florida during the summer and the combination of aging and the summers getting hotter have limited my outdoor summer activities to about ZERO. I am fine from about 65 degrees to about 85 degrees. So, now the (unusual, I think) cold weather for December keeps me inside too much. Maybe it is just me, but as I age, I have become less able to deal with both hot days and cold days.
