To begin with:

Rowing on the Lake (EXQUISITE LEISURE) The romance of a rowboat cannot be overstated—the gentle lapping of the waves, the splashes of fish, the water lilies and drooping willows, the occasional wheeling bat. Summer evenings are meant for rowing with a bottle of champagne, straw hat, small stringed instrument, wine and grapes and cheese, and a boon companion. Rowboats are more romantic but canoes are faster and better for slipping in and out of the narrow corridors of Lake Washington’s labyrinthine shoreline.

Do you really want to make me cry?”
