Top of the World

The view from the top is a bit chilly for August, I must admit.

Seeing that it's 11:42 and I have to be up at 6:30, I should be sleeping - but the light keeps pouring through my window. Jeffrey Foucoult plays in the background and my heart aches for all of you. Once again I find myself mixing the nervous excitement feelings with the pain of missing all who have affected my life.

Today was the Polar Plunge. I must admit it was way warmer than I had anticipated. It was freezing, don't get me wrong, but my brain had mentally prepared my body for something way worse. About ten of us ran a few feet into the water and head dived in to receive our certificate and badge. It was a chilly ten seconds. We ran in almost as fast as we ran out... and then the pictures started. We had done it!
