operate the boat. The boat got out of the father’s reach, and he tragically drowned. So, if you’re going for a swim, make sure someone who can drive stays behind on the boat. Otherwise be sure to properly anchor the boat in place. If you want to truly play it safe, wear a life vest.
accidents. So, before anyone jumps out of the boat for a swim, triple- check to make sure the engine is off (not in neutral, OFF!). Have at least one person stay with the boat. If several people in the boat want to jump out and swim, make sure at least one person (who can drive the boat) stays behind. When you’re out on open water, winds, currents, and tides can push your boat farther away from you than you can swim, leaving you to potentially drown. Unfortunately, this happened on the lake where my family has a summer home. A father and his son were out on their boat.

reading this has evidence that highlights the benefits of being a night owl, send it along, I’d love to read it (at 5:00 a.m. of course). Even though I fully believe in the benefits of being a morning person, I will say that it does have a few drawbacks. On the mornings where I wake up hours before my wife and children on the weekends, I sometimes wish I could just go back to sleep — but I never can. I have also never been known to be the life of the party if that party goes beyond 10 p.m. It’s a running joke in my circle of friends that after 9 p.m., it’s “past Lenny’s bedtime.” Over the years, I’ve tried being less of a morning person, but it hasn’t worked. My internal clock has been the same for 56 years, so I doubt I’ll change anytime soon. I guess I’ll just have to continue making the most of my early mornings and missing out on the occasional late-night parties! (For the record, I wrote this at 6:00 a.m. on a Saturday while my family was fast asleep.)
