16. Motor boats
My family had a little lake house reunion thing today which I was not at all excited for. It was this place on a lake that I’d never heard of, in a town I’d never heard of that was like 2 hours away from home. Oh joy. Then we arrived, and all of us piled in a motor boat. It soon got harder holding on to my cynicism after we started going. Suddenly, I was on a magic carpet ride over a sparkling ocean near sundown. The wind almost felt solid like I was being thrust through thousands of the world’s finest silk curtains. I want a lakehouse now…
