It's that time of the year again. Time to jump in the pond on new years day. It all started 13 years ago when my dad jumped in his pond in april and had bragging rights to have been the first one in that year. So as December rolled around, i told him that i was jumping in on new years day. That would assure that i was going to be the first one in the pond that year. So he decided to jump in on new years eve, but i told him that he was the last one in the pond that year. He was 75 years old at the time. So new years day me and my son who was 10 at the time, took the plunge. So every year since then I've been polar plunging. Most years we have to chainsaw a hole in the ice, and this year looks to be one of the coldest new years days that we've had in a while.My father is gone now but my mother does her part to carry on the tradition. Every year since dad passed she does a snow angel in her underwear. I stopped by to see her today, and sure enough, there is snow angel just off of her back porch. That old woman is 84 years old
