Not just fair-weather plungers

Well, we did it: We did the New Year's Day Penguin Plunge in spite of the sub-zero wind-chill factor! It's easy to do it and brag about it when it's 50 out with no wind but today, we earned our rights to brag. It was almost unbearably cold but with a little help from our friends, and a few nips of some awful liqueur, we beat the crap out of the cold and did our civic duty to entertain the masses. My very special friend Lou Ann joined us for her very first plunge and made us proud. (Lizzie made a wise choice and took a little nap in the car.) After a nice brunch of donuts and Bud Light on the beach, we headed home to eat more crap and watch Lifetime TV. Happy New Year, Everyone!
