"He taught him horsemanship, archery and how to wield lasso, rein and stirrup, and what and when and how, the rites of of convivial society, of formal ceremony and the symposium; hawking, falconry and how to hunt with the cheetah; what was justice or the lack of it; what the throne and the crown meant; how to deliver orations and how to go to war and lead an army."

Short hiatus
Off to Kansas City on the train tomorrow to get blood drawn and God knows what else in a Parkinson's study. Soon I hope to have a tablet or laptop, which may (or not) encourage more impulsive posting; but not yet, so blogging is hereby suspended for a couple of days. I will report anything of interest...

Thanks for gracing our community for two days! To quote the immortal philosopher Carol Burnett, I'm so glad we had this time together...
The train ride sounds awesome! Rode the train from Omaha to New York in my youth (sleeper cars and all) and except for the Silverton Narrow Gauge I haven't been on one since. Hoe the tests go well.
