As for
pictures and museums, that don't trouble me. The worst of
going abroad is that you've always got to look at things of
that sort. To have to do it at home would be beyond a joke.

One of these
days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and
show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is
not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you
that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and
squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for
as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up
with an earful of cider.
-- Damon Runyon

Journeys end
in lovers meeting.
-- William Shakespeare
