Who Loves 'Ya Baby

Age is no better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost. - Thoreau

he had been told repeatedly that you can never again go home

but it wasn't until he went there anyway that he realized

he was a bald man looking for a comb

Author's Note

"Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived." - Thoreau
