Itchy, but Stylish Feet

Wanderlust has taken hold of me once again. My feet, with the help of a little dough and human flight technology will soon find me among friends on the island of Barbados in the southeast Caribbean.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

- Theodore Roosevelt, Twenty-sixth President of the United States of America. 1901-1909. From "The Man In The Arena," Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, France April 23, 1910
