“Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains.”

Can't find my photo of the cabin. Visited MA, and right after taking the photo, my digital camera froze up. I got a pocket camera for the rest of the trip, and a nicer (and more durable one) when I got back home. Born in Boston, and lived in the area for some 20 years. Worked in Lexington for a while and sometimes drove past the green on the way home.
