I just might join Karen in the corner, since neither team interests me this year.

I was supposed to go watch my granddaughter participate in the Polar Bear Plunge into the Atlantic on Sunday, but within the last hour it has been postponed due to the nor'easter heading our way this weekend with snow, high winds and heavy surf. This will be her first year for it (benefits Special Olympics), and she and some friends did a practice run a few weeks ago. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the pictures - the girls in their bikinis and guys in their surfer shorts - frolicking in the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of winter. BRRRR - in my old age, I find it too cold in the middle of summer this far north! I think they're all slightly nuts, but that's part of the fun of being young!

With all that talk, I'm now cold and in need of something to warm me up. How about some of Karen's famous hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream please???
