I keep it at 66-67, but it is now 64 in the house, so I've got to make the rest of my family happy and provide a tiny amount of heat.

Kathy Griffin graces the cover of Metrosource NY 's annual "People We Love" issue, which has the scary December 2009/January 2010 date on it. (I'm just warming up to the idea of it being the '90s, which is around the time publisher Rob Davis' photo on page 7 was taken.)
