My brother, our friend, and I went on the trip again this year.   Some highlights were --
1) Ducks at the lake? That's a first.
2) The result of me eating only granola bars and trail mix had its effect.   I lost six
pounds during the trip.   And that was a good thing since I had gained about 25 pounds
during the past five years.   So, the "experiment" worked.
3) My brother caught the largest fish that we've ever seen pulled from the lake.
4) Have you ever heard the joke "Number One, I order you to take a number two."?
Well, I, as usual, never took a number two during the four full days that we were at the
lake.
