Polar Bear Swim

The water was 45, the swimmers were pasty white - and the p.bear plunge was a splash!

I'm always surprised by how great I feel after the swim. Is it the cold water or the two cups of whisky coffee - or the combination?

We had some great coverage from the Highline Times and the B-Town Blog. Visit the links to watch videos!

My Dream Van

Many, many years ago... Jana, Lupe and I spent 3 months living on the beach in Baja Mexico. We had a pop-up camper on the back of my 4x4 Toyota pickup. It worked well... but THIS is the ultimate Baja van. Ooooohhhhh, i want it!

39 more miles and our car is worthless. Jana has hated this car from
the beginning - she wanted a minivan. A minivan?!?! I test drove 8
minivans, then tried a used Lexus... and there's no comparison. It's
been an expensive car - two transmissions later - but it's fun to
drive, and it's safe for the kids. (can you tell I played that card
several times?)

Oh well, I guess we'll drive it till it breaks... again. And NO, the
next car will not be a minivan. ;-)
