Impending Ice Age Revealed in Change of Season

For the second year running, we here at InnerNeanderthal (and by "we" I mean one middle aged neanderthal goddess named Krista) were distracted by the allure of spring and then summer.

We would like to report that we were kept from blogging by organic farming in the backyard, smoking local delectibles such as oysters and salmon, and laying in (or is it laying down?) provisions for the winter. But with the exception of a nice roasted tomato sauce with frizzled basil and garlic thanks to Safeway and generous green-thumbed friends, we accomplished no such thing.

Rather, we contemplated life after the death of one's laptop and the loss of one's jump drive. And we learned a bit about naturopathy, energy healing and the value of a good facial.

For the second year running, we find that the leaves are turning too soon, wind storms belonging in January have arrived with the big yellow school bus, and skiing is now a mid-autumn sport, rivaling football for relevance on a Sunday afternoon.

As in past years, these new and yet some how chronic realizations have motivated us here at InnerNeanderthal, to fire up the desk top and get back to work, leaving me to contemplate, what other positive outcomes will the coming ice age bring?

Welcome back! Hope your summer was magnificent and drought-free.
