This is not the polar plunge
or I AM ALIVE

I took the less-famous cousin of the polar plunge a moment ago. It was the "Frickin' Freezin' run to the video store." I made the run in shorts and a t-shirt. My hands and legs are pink. There are sleeting/snow particles clinging to my beard.

I've got to think it had a similar effect. Less fanfare. No pictures. Same joie-de-vivre without the aqua.

I'm cold. I'm allowed to mix languages.
