Taking the Plunge – Literally – Into the New Year

The Takeaway

It happened last night, whether we were ready for it or not: The New Year. And today, on the first day of 2013, some of us are dragging our feet (perhaps with a headache) into the future, but others of us are literally jumping in.
Adrienne Adams is one of those people. This afternoon, at 1pm, she will be embarking on her 10th  New Year’s plunge into the icy cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Adrienne is a member of the Coney Island Polar Bear Club, and she explains how taking the plunge into the New Year is, for her, both figurative and literal.
And we want to hear from YOU. Are you doing something to take a dramatic plunge into 2013?
