Karma made me jump in a frigid river.
I have a somewhat recurring dream that involves natural water slides. I can't recall the specifics, but I think it ends badly. So I found myself in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania with my family at a river tributary with a natural water slide. The water was 64 degrees and the air wasn't much warmer. Just back from his first whitewater rafting stint, our son jumped right in. He claimed it was much warmer than the river. I was wearing some quick dry pants and a t-shirt, and didn't feel like hoofing it back to the car for my swimsuit. "C'mon in, Mommy."
It was eerie. I felt like I was supposed to do it, but I didn't really want to. I hesitated. Maybe it was a Deja vu experience I had earlier in the day. Maybe it was the memory of the dream goading me. I did it. I slid in my clothes. That water was f-ing freezing.
