Last weekend, I went to a nearby lake to take pictures of a Polar Bear Plunge. The sponsors chose what turned out to be the "perfect" day. Temperatures hovered around 25 degrees. The wind made it feel much colder. Despite the bitter chill, nearly 50 people, ranging in age from around 6 to 50+, participated. I have to ask: Why do people engage in such insanity? On the other hand, why do some people avoid the adventures of living? Even though jumping into frigid water might seem odd, the thrill of knowing you have done something others would never dream of trying has to be a highlight of a fully lived life. I would much rather try something crazy than to live a boring life without adventure. Maybe next year!
