A another bitterly cold grey day. Around Poole Quay. Whatever the weather there's always something to photograph.

Wow! I was overwhelmed just a bit by this beautiful cemetery. Too many beautiful momuments...it was a major sensory overload. I must take it by grids and do it a little at a time....slowly. I'll be back!
Green Mount Cemetery was one of the earliest rural or garden cemeteries in the United States. Samuel Walker, a Baltimore tobacco merchant, led the campaign to establish the Cemetery after visiting Mount Auburn Cemetery in 1834.
After a successful campaign, Walker, and a group of gentlemen drew up the plans for a public cemetery. The site they chose was the country estate of the late merchant Robert Oliver. Oliver's estate, known as “Green Mount”, was a hilly location at the then northern boundary of the city of Baltimore. During his life, Mr. Oliver spared no expense in beautifying his estate, and aided by its natural advantages, he left it, at his death, a picturesque and highly ornamented locale.
The Proprietors of Green Mount Cemetery purchased about sixty acres from the heirs of Robert Oliver and Green Mount Cemetery was officially established by an act of the General Assembly of Maryland on March 15, 1838.
Benjamin Latrobe, a civil engineer with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, laid out the early design of the Cemetery. His efforts produced a place for reflection with shady avenues and beautiful gardens.
Green Mount Cemetery was officially dedicated on July 13, 1839. Those involved with the service included the Reverend William Wyatt, Congressman John Pendleton Kennedy, and the Reverend J.G. Hamner. Special hymns were written for the occasion by Frances H. Davidge, Esq. and J.H.B. Latrobe, Esq. The Musical Association of Baltimore sung a chorale from the Oratorio of St. Paul by Felix Mendelssohn.
The first person laid to rest in these hallowed grounds was two year old Olivia Cushing. Since that time, Green Mount has become the final resting place of more than 65,000 individuals. Many have had a profound influence on our Nation's History. Within the walls of the Cemetery you will find Statesmen, Captains of Industry, Philanthropists, Artists, Authors, Military Leaders, and even a Presidential Assassin and his Co-conspirators. The Cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

I could feel the chessboard textured fabric of the hastily swinging seat turn shmirgl and cold, as the driver declined my heartfelt wish, explaining further very cryptically something about the inconcievability of the proposed situation and the incompatibility of the limitless nature of the cargo with the extremity of the extendable truck-trailer. Our conversation ended swiftly, leaving behind a bitter taste, presumably in both of us, right after I asked him if he thinks there might be some space still available to squeeze into also a couple of disposable fridges. Very small, I assured him. Didn't help.
Thank you, dearest A43.

Red Sox vs. Toronto game with my visiting college buddy, Nigel. We sat behind the visitor dugout. Field Box 62 row F. Yeah... 6 rows from the field! Fantastic seats! Thank you Nigel Stewart
The sox lead through the 8th inning when the Sox bullpen allowed too many runs for the offense to recover. They gave it a shot and came within 1, but that\'s where it ended. A loss. 8-7, Toronto.

Empty seats and tables at Bar Torino in Charles Square. To be fair there was snow on the ground and it was freezing cold.
This is part of the Old Post Office Pavilion food court, and it is where I had my first ever sushi in 1994 or 1995. Now I eat sushi or sashimi about once a week...
