Recently got shamed into doing one of those ice baths by some Laird Hamilton type surfer dudes. I tried to get out of it but after multiple invites, my wife and sons shamed me into going. When I got into the tub full of ice and freezing water for the first time, my feet slipped, I did a full backflip, head four feet under freezing water, completed the backflip like I meant to do it, stayed in for the full five minutes, was declared a legend, and thankfully never have to do that again.

Bwaha! Uh, no. Although that would make a great story. I love Miz Bacall's response after kissing Humphrey the second time: "It's even better when you help." Zing!

As a raging liberal, I took a job, cause I needed to support my children, at an organization the absolute opposite of my values, became the highest paid executive, years after being hired as a junior editor, and met the love of my life. Ain't that totally nuts? And left that job to write when no one believed in me. Even crazier! I love this question, not so by the way! And your story!
