I was definitely wide awake after participating in the annual Three Tree Point neighborhood Polar Bear Club swim in chilly Puget Sound on New Year’s Day. Andy rallied the troops and led the charge into the water, Chris won the gung ho award for going back in a second time, Steve worked the frigid dip into his running schedule for a little “cool down”, and I enjoyed being “baptized” as a new member of the club. About 15 supporters also showed up to root us on. There was a friendly dog there who had the sense not to go in, but we had more fun
