Green Lake

(1993? Fall)

One day Jill was impressing me with how her work is not merely teaching English here, but going all over the state for various reasons. "Have you ever heard of Green Lake?" she asked, trying to be superior. "Yes," I replied, "I used to go to school there." That fixed her. I could have gone on about how I went in a covered launch in summer and sat on straw in the bottom of a sleigh with bells on the horses in the winter, but I thought I had made my point.
