But what is it about a bunch of water that has us all so mesmerized? Why do we buy boats/pontoons/jet skis and cram as many people as possible onto them to float around on the water? Why do we risk our lives by strapping ourselves to skis, hanging on to tubes, and kneeling on kneeboards pulled by boats at 20 miles an hour around a lake? Why will I stress myself to the max just to get to the beach at least once a week during the summer? Why do my kids play so much better and for so much longer at the water's edge?
I don't really know the answers to those questions, and I really don't even care to know. I love "the lake" and ultimately it brings our family together, so I'll just leave it at that.
