A very pleasant jolt...So the minute we were seated side by side in the bus, I wondered why in the hell I was taking this rosebud to a dopey museum, of all places. "How about going to Nepera Park?, I said. "Aren't we going to the museum? she asked. "Yes, but it' such a beautiful day, we can talk about art in Yonkers, I said. Besides, I know all about Rembrandt anyway." - excerpt from Page 1. Thank you.
