Plymouth, Massachusetts

Overheard:

While I'm here in the east, I'm going to visit my "family".  They all live in Plymouth.  They've been there for hundreds of years.

Oh, are you Native American?

No, my family came over on the Mayflower.

  1. After almost 400 years, family still lives in Plymouth? That gives a new meaning to being rooted, or a new meaning to lacking an adventurous spirit, or an absolute, steadfast commitment to ignore Horace Greeley's exhortation, or an all consuming fear of leaving the rock, which in their case became a rock of ages drained of all spiritual significance.
