Hey all! I've been pretty delinquent on Dgrin lately but hopefully a couple of you remember me around here :smooch. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm doing the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Illinois in a little over a week. I've got friends that either work for or are closely involved with Special Olympics Illinois and they are some of the best people I have ever known. They've done the plunge in the past and this year I'm stepping up to the plate and taking the plunge myself. It's in a little over a week and since I'm a slacker I just signed up for it :D. Please take a look at my plunge page, I've got a link to it on my SmugMug homepage which you can find here:

Thanks for taking the time to ready my post. Even if you don't pledge please take a look at the site and maybe you'll even take the plunge yourself some day.

Here's a couple pics I took from last year:

Polar plunges are Great. You get to see some crazy people, including my Family.
