New Year's Day at noon, at North Avenue Beach, a group of us will be taking a ceremonial dip in the waters of Lake Michigan. It's free, so if you're in the neighborhood, feel free to join us. Of course, I may chicken out.
I guess the idea is to start off the year adventurously, thus preparing oneself to tackle the serious problems of the world.
Or maybe it's just a goofy stunt.
We'll dive in boldly
With exuberant howls.
We'll stumble out coldly
Desperate for towels.
UPDATE: The water wasn't too bad. Afterwards I snapped a shot, which you can see above, of a couple of latecomer participants.

Happy New Year, John. :)
Happy New Year, Jerry!
