Polar Bear Plunge 2008 Page

I know it seems like I've been doing a lot of scrapbooking lately, but I'm really enjoying it.  Having the program on my computer lets me to work on it while I'm watching TV.  Plus I get to relive some old memories and finally do something with the pictures from some of my adventures (other than stick them in a folder in cyberspace).  Today's page is one that just made me smile when I stumbled on the pictures in my computer.  It's from my second year doing the Polar Bear Plunge, which is ran by the Maryland State Police as a fundraiser for the Special Olympics.  If you've never heard of a Polar Bear Plunge before, the idea is that you run into a body of water in the middle of winter somewhere really cold.  Bonus points for ice on the water.  It's crazy, insane, maybe slightly stupid, but it was for a good cause and was a lot of fun.  I wasn't able to convince anyone to run in with me, but I did have my friend there for moral support.  She was also kept track of where the blanket was for when I got back out of the water, probably the most important job there :-)
