Polar Plunge, blizzard, and Vegas
This past weekend, before I went to the Gun show, I stopped by an event called the "Polar Plunge." It was an event that was designed to raise money to benefit Special Olympics ND. It was in the parking lot in front of a hotel and the water was 43 degrees. I saw a few people jump into the ice cold water and here's a video clip of the first two jumpers. It was pretty fun to watch but I'm sure wasn't a whole lot for the people jumping into the water after they stepped out into the freezing cold. I thought it was a pretty cool event though, and I donated a bit of money for a good cause.
Today, there was a blizzard. I didn't really think it was that bad of a blizzard, but a lot of stuff shut down. Our intramural hockey game that was supposed to be tonight got postponed to Wednesday night. I think people over-reacted to the whole storm as I've seen much worse blizzards here. This snowfall and wind seemed quite standard for the most part, although it was pretty bad for just a few hours during the middle of the day.
I'm headed to Vegas for a week with one of my friends, Kevin. It's a "spring break" trip so we're going there to just relax and have fun, but I'm sure I'll get some live poker in. I'm going to bring my laptop as well so I can get in some online hands too. We're going to meet up with a friend from high school who lives down there as well. It should be a good time.
