I have an "ice out" ritual that I would argue is even more stressful on the body's central nervous system than jumping into a freezing lake.

I make it a point to visit the lake with a full ice cube tray and ceremonially toss in 2 to 3 (depending upon recent and forecast weather conditions). You see, the full tray represents the annual allotment of free time that Little Miss Winni has set aside for me in the coming year - and each year she demands her share of attention. Some years are better than others, but I'd just as soon she didn't as demanding and she has been in the last two.

I do relish a challenge though...
