If you are ever near Ulverston in England, take a tour of the walled gardens and dine at the Stan Laurel House. It was his home town and they are very proud of him. It is the launching point for the Cumbria Way and therefore has many good B&Bs.
Snake meat tastes quite a bit like frogs legs. Too much trouble to pick it out of the bones for regular fare, but tasty enough if someone else prepares it.
There are a few people who lived such a life. I know one who sponsors what education she can and inserting her story when she is able.
One time we toured the Museum of Tolerance and at the end, she slipped the guide a tip. He tried to give it back. I told him that he could either keep it or donate it, but returning a compliment from a Holocaust survivor is an insult that would reverberate for life.
I have always like Moonstruck. His job was to make Cher look good and with his support, she won the Oscar. In the process, Cage proved to the industry that he was leading man material.
I grew up in a household that had every Galaxy and Astounding from the 50s and quite a few Astounding from the 40s. I had the privilege of reading Asimov's stories in their original format. Recommendations from 1945 to today: Asimov's collection of short stories originally published as Nightfall and Other Stories, Heinlein's Have Spacesuit, Will Travel and Card's Speaker for the Dead.
Anything by those three are good, many are great. These are just my favorites.
My brother has been asking for help in chasing these sort of mysteries for a couple of decades. If one wishes to get involved, many are posted as part of Geochaches. (http://www.geocaching.com/)
What made this one especially invigorating was the custom URL and the posting of physical clues around the world.
Los Angeles is not known as a "Museum Destination", but it has a complex surrounding the Tar Pits (Page and LACMA) that rival Chicago's. You will have to drive to Long Beach for an Aquarium, but it is well worth the effort. While you are there, do not miss the two Gettys and my favorite, The Hammer.
Being brought up on classical music and listening to Motown as a tween, Rhapsody in Blue was as strange to me as Frank Zappa. While its mother was classical, the father seemed more show tunes than jazz. It was only later that I understood that it was both the period at the end of one and the capital letter to start the other.
