The final words of the Lord of the Rings- the final volume of which is The Return of the King - is Sam saying "well I'm back," turning the whole darn thing into a homecoming tale.

I would also point out that dozens and dozens of classic bluegrass songs have the longing for home as their central theme.

A signed photo of Jake LaMotta should *not* be languishing in a box! Surely there must be a wall in your home that can accommodate that!!! (My Dad boxed Lew Tendler in a gym in Philly somewhere when he was young. Tendler won, of course. My Dad taught me a left hook when I was 10. He really wanted a son.)
