Ending or Beginning? Depends on who you ask.

Further proof that I am an incredible wimp…Here I am cowering in the beach hut, eyes shut tight against the cold, while my brave hearted friends and relations take part in the annual New Year’s dunk, an Atlantic cleansing, a group baptism.
I am clearly involved in my own version of prayer, prayer that involves some cursing and blasphemous phrases in reference to frozen fingers and toes and the burn of the most God-awful chapped lips. Next year, I am sure to be struck down – a beach ending but not the one I have often imagined, the one with the pina colada fragrance and the warm breezes, the flapping of sails and a quiet capsizing into tepid waters after too many rum drinks.
Oh good brave folks who traverse the waves and endure the heart stopping chill of the January surf, may the year bring you wealth and health and enough wisdom to stay home next year so that I am not needed as photographer and witness to your stupidity. May the dawn of ‘09 find us all snug a bed, finally having found the grace and good sense to forgo all this New Year’s nonsense.
