Day 150 - Strongman of Oak Street Beach

Jan 28, 2012. I woke up after four hours of sleep to witness the Lakeview Polar Bear Club's 2012 plunge. It was cold, and it was awesome. No, I didn't go in. I did, however, go home and go back to bed afterwards.

Jan 27, 2012.  I mistook the hairy eyeball for the evil eye, but Jason corrected me. Jason Hawk, here, is a sculptor, and I have to go get dressed for a party at his studio tonight. It's a theme party, and I should transform into a hero or villain. What to do?

Jan 26, 2012.  Here's Hannah showing off her new banjo, which has a surprising heft to those of us who don't handle banjos. She banjoed away while I shut down at work. She wasn't on the clock, but I'd honestly let her sit and play while I took care of the work if she were. In other music news, I'll be tapping on the drums with another person tomorrow. It's been a while.
