"Where ever you go, there you are" has been around for literally decades. The now-condemned Showboat Theatre in Seattle, Washington had this written on it's graffiti wall, along with "No man is a nylon, a tire unto himself" "less is more" and "Back in 15 minutes - Godot", where it has been for well over 20 years, to my certain knowledge, and probably longer. The credit does not go to Reverend Jim, the "Taxi" writers, Back to the Future or whatever. It's much older than that. Adrienne Regard

A friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) was using the saying "no matter where you go, there you are" as early as 1979, and probably much earlier. Obviously the scriptwriters stole this saying from him! (:-) (:-) ~~ John L.
