Memorable Memorial Day

So this weekend I went back to Maine. Back to the place where I spent nearly every childhood growing up. I miss it.

Sometimes I wish I could bring my kids to Maine to show them what another life is like. I know I've said it before, but kids in the Bronx just as sheltered as any suburban kid.

This shot is down the road from my family's house. It's a road that leads into the water if you want to launch a boat. I spent many a day swimming there (when the tide was in, obviously.) The water was freezing.



This shot is the spring that is right up that same road. It spews delicious fresh water all day every day. Poland Spring ain't got nothing on us. At one point when I was younger, our shower was non-existant... so we used to have to shower here after swimming. Once again, the water was freezing.

I know... you don't know how lucky you are until you drop $1.25 for a bottle of Poland Spring.
