Karate family and friends: it’s not too early to think about saving lives. I have registered for the third year in a row to captain the traffic and security team. Please consider signing on as a walker or crew, as for me, I have never regretted any of the time I have spent in this worthwhile endeavor…

Need a break from your day? See how many of these questions you can get right. I got a number of them correct. Note: These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers.
I’ll post the answers sometime soon (to keep from spoiling the fun). If you’d like them right away, send an email to admin@doghousedojo.com.
1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.
2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?
3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?
4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn’t been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?
6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters “dw” and they are all common words. Name two of them.
7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?
8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.
9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter “S.”

This year’s polar bear plunge was a blast! Our team “Gold’s Gym Karate Club” raised $2,195.00 to help support the Special Olympics of New Jersey (SONJ).
The event was held in Seaside Heights, NJ this year, on Saturday February 24 at 1pm. In previous years, the event was held in Point Pleasant, NJ. Most of the group spent Friday night at the Aztec. If the pre-plunge party and plunge itself weren’t enough, everyong returned to the Aztec after the plunge to party some more. Many people stayed Saturday night too. We had at least six rooms reserved at the Aztec those two nights.
I checked YouTube for sightings of our group this year, but didn’t find anything with us in it. In any event here are some links to videos I found of the Seaside Heights plunge in general, which you may enjoy:

And as a bonus… While I was looking for Plunge videos, I think I found Tim from 2006 in Point Pleasant. You be the judge! Fast forward to about 30 seconds and watch…
