Lunch with the dead

i'm sitting here in the woodlawn cemetery (founded 1730) in acton, mass, near the jonas and brooks families and i have two thoughts:

1. way to go lydia brooks, wife of deacon john brooks... she outlived her husband by 25 years, and then gave herself a bigger headstone. i bet she was awesome. i mean, her husband died in 1777, and she lived to 91 years old. she'd probably had to have been)

2. i think it would be awesome to live in a post-apocalyptic world so i could walk through this graveyard as an archaeologist and dig up all the old dead people's bones and play with them

does that make me crazy?
