That’s where Zab’s mom lives. Hawthorne, Thoreau, Alcott, and Emerson are all buried at Author's Ridge in Sleepy Hollow Cemetary in Concord, MA. It's actually a beautiful spot--scenic, tranquil, inspiring reflection and contemplation. Moreover, it's an amazing piece of literary history with all these important writers buried in the same place. Concord was such an intellectual hot spot. Thanks, Larry for your kind remarks!
