In Which I Am Barking Mad

[lawnrrd]

I am finally home. Hopefully for at least a few weeks.

It was a busy weekend, and I'll have a longer post later. But the highlight was unquestionably around noon on New Year's Day, when Lauren and I took part in the Margate City, New Jersey, Polar Bear Swim. Yes, there are pictures.

Jon, I'd just like to observe that you and Lauren are stark staring mad.

Just sayin'.

Does that mean you didn't like our card? Folie à deux may indeed be the secret to our marriage.

The card is wonderful. It's this polar bear thing that worries me.

Oh, come on. It was like 43 degrees or something. I could have survived a good two hours in there.

was it fun? invigorating? or just plain COLD?

[lawnrrd]

It was fun. And damn, it was cold. It was invigorating, I suppose, but I can be tough to invigorate. Tomorrow night should do the trick, though.

Polar Bear swim?? I think that's amazingly wonderful! Go YOU!!!!

Shucks. Anyone stupid or crazy can run into cold water. And millions of years of evolution have weeded out those with any tendency not to run back out in a hurry. (But not perfectly—there were two guys standing in the belly-deep ocean, tossing a football around.)

But stupid and crazy can be fun sometimes. ;-)
