Happy New Year!
Every New Year Conrad Milster pulls out the steam pipes at Pratt, attaches whistles and lets them blow at midnight. The streets fill with neighbors responding to the call and we all walk towards the steam with a bottle of champagne to salute the new year. I love me some Brooklyn!
here's just a hint to how loud the whistles are... the last blow was the point where I turned an ran while holding my ears. ouch

Happy New Year!!!
To ring in the New Year I traveled along with some friends as they took the plunge into the ice cold Atlantic. Coney Island bound. I was absolutely surprised by the amount of people who also had the same idea, but like any other event out at Coney it is madness with a splash of wonderful. Clothes were stripped. Blood warming jumping jacks. Then a run into the water - brrrr just rethinking it. They stayed in the water an impressive 2 minutes and 21 seconds. Some blood warming libations led to an afternoon of dancing that felt like any other day on the boardwalk - except for some were in bathing suits - most in winter coats, hats, gloves, etc. An exhilerating day to wipe away 2009 and move forward full force with 2010!
