Amy,

You are a badass. There are many good things to be said about that. About jumping into frozen lakes and being a badass.

I went to Houston and Nola last year, xmas, family. Seventy one years old, live in Guatemala. I almost cried from the cold, hated it. My kid had to lend me his lumbermans coat, Wal mart people actually grew concerned...This from a sob who went to school up near Traverse City, used to run in my skivvies in the drifts.

Point? It's that as time passes, we weaken, just that simple. So, you go girl. You are an inspiration.

They say that if a person continues these abnormal behaviors, (jumping into your frozen lake) as the years pass you stay way ahead of the aging game. Perhaps your friend Knight might agree.

Congrats.

Tom
