Yes, it was cold.
Every year Colleen and I have a dozen-or-so of our friends up to northern Minnesota for a winter ‘cabin’ party. It generally involves doing fun stuff like shoveling off the lake and playing hockey… and almost always includes stupid stuff, like cutting a hole in the ice and jumping in. 🙂
Colleen may look like she is smiling, but that’s pain… I’m pretty sure.

OMG!! My great uncles were Polar Bear Club Members in Chicago, and I’d see it on TV in PGH, but never ever someone I knew and was still living. OH Yikes. You really are into the “Far North” thing, aren’t you?
