Happy New Year! This year is the year of the Dragon, and mine are coming along beautifully.

This is my left wrist, almost done! Next week we'll put the finishing touches on this one, and I wouldn't be surprised if we finished the other dragon as well.
On New Year's Day I went to the annual Coney Island Polar Bear Swim, which was a lot of fun.  My first time, and the mild weather this year made it much easier than I imagined.  Still, the Atlantic is chilly in January!
There was a large crowd gathered and as soon as I stripped down to my trunks there was plenty of curiosity.  I didn't expect it, but old women were the most straightforward.  Not afraid to touch and ask lots of questions! I'm plenty happy to talk to nice old ladies though.
