The dogs got their paws wet. As did I. Happy 2009! I’m thankful I didn’t poop out of the annual New Year’s Day Polar Bear swim in Coney Island. I didn’t get there last year and 2008 was pretty sucky. The event gets more crowded every year and it’s becoming a bit of a hipster happening, spilling over from the Mermaid Parade. But I’m just an old kvetch. What do I know? Anyway, lots of photos on Flickr. Here are my favorites.

GREAT photos!! “Hairy Chest in Motion” made me GOL (guffaw out loud).
I haven’t been to this in years but have heard it’s become quite the hipster happening. It was pretty freakin’ cold today so I have to give the hipsters some credit.
Happy new year, RH! Thank you for bringing smiles to my boring days and accessories to my house!

The plan was to take my shoes off, roll up my pants and go in up to my knees, but I guess I got a little overzealous because when I got out, my pants were wet up to my waste. Then I couldn’t find my shoes, which really sucked! There was a photographer next to me in shorts and water shoes and I just kept hating on her for being smarter than me.

[…] Polar Bears didn’t jump into the freezing cold water in the middle of the frigid winter just for the fun […]
