Icy Swim for a Good Cause
Monday, March 7, 2016 4:19 PM by Elizabeth Miller
I'm naturally a cold person. Andrea and I have a space heater under the desk that we run year round (yes, even in the summer). I sometimes get self conscious when I shake peoples' hands because I usually get the response, "Oh my! Your hands are so cold!"
