Captain Nemo’s friends and relations will not be surprised that Captain Nemo saw his shadow today and scampered right back into his hole to brace for six more weeks of winter. As a side note, I skied a foot of new powder today. Captain Nemo’s prognostication suggests there is more of that to come! Once [...]

Polar Plunge
Posted in random on Jan 4th, 2009
Somehow Mike Finkel talked me into this. I believe the line that suckered me in was “how often do you get to do something you’ve never done before?” I mean, it’s tough to argue with logic like that. So on New Years Day, along with a large group of individuals of questionable rationality I participated [...]
