“When I think about the definition of what it means to be a grown man, I can’t come up with a better visual than Jerry Flanders on the night I ran to him with news of the rattlesnake. Jerry, wanting nothing more than to go back to bed but knowing he couldn’t. He was no less afraid of snakes than I was and hardly enthused about the prospect of leaving his house in the night to find one, but I’d run to him for help, and he had nobody else to turn to. The difference between boy and man. Some night you’re going to need to be the one who carries the shovel.”
