In search of cocktails that are varnished br modern nomads wander through the hotel lobbies; br expense accounts are rarely garnished br while in the bar oases they indulge their hobbies, br first drinking, which relieves the pain br that’s caused by travel and the unfamiliar bed, br then finding often that the strain br of being faithful causes morals to be shed. br br The tents the modern nomads pitch br in unfamiliar places where they spend the night br provide a stage for those who itch br to taste some unfamiliar, unprogrammed delight. br Accepting plastic, every host br is generous, and for breakfast champagne may be served, br but traveling from coast to coast br leaves modern nomads to be burned like homemade toast.
