It was any thirteen-year-old boy’s wildest dream. Two months off from school. Traveling through Central America with his dad. The Yucatan jungle. Army ants. Man-eating snakes. Exploration up the Belize River. Snorkeling off the second longest coral reef on the planet. Conch fritters. Fresh papaya. Man, that was livin’! I could hardly believe we were […]
Then said Great-Heart to Mr. Valiant-for-Truth: “Thou hast worthily behaved thyself. Let me see thy sword.” So he showed it to him. When he had taken it in his hand and looked thereon a while, he said, “Ha! it is a right Jerusalem blade.” — The Pilgrim’s Progress Sir Robert Anderson (1841-1918) was one of […]
