2009 Polar Bear Plunge

At noon on Thursday, January 1, 2009 I will be at Loyola Beach participating in the annual polar bear plunge. If you are curious and want to know why I do this— read my post here.

Depending on how many people come to cheer me on will determine if I have people over at my place for "hot" drinks— hot-chocolate, hot-apple cider, hot-toddies, etc.

Hope to see you there.

okay, listen, kel is right... you are insane.

my husband found the funniest video on you tube about a polar bear clubber (club member, not bear beater) that thought he was plunging into water, but it was frozen and totally wiped out. bloody nose and all. i guess that doesn't sound too funny, but i am ashamed to admit i really laughed.

YIKES! I am freezing just thinking about it. Good luck and watch out for shrinkage!

I'm thinking about doing the same for the Special Olympics. I watched some guys jump into Lake Michigan last year after the Bears lost at the end of the season. My son and I were in Chicago for the weekend and watched the game from the hotel. Watching the unfortunate guys undress, jump in the lake and then get dressed again was pretty funny - they must have lost a bet!
