My apologies monsignior...

Loathe was I to note, yesterday, that I have neglected my blog for four weeks solid. Like all creatures bred in the north, I am subject to intermittent hibernation. I blame it on the military. Its evil hand swept us to the tundraland when we still traveled by smurfcycle. Trapped between snowdrifts and death-icicles hanging from the roof, something changed. When the sky darkens for too long, a profound laziness threatens. We can be found, curled like snails, under piles of blankets or pressed against heaters. Days, weeks, months later, the boredom sets in. We are forced to crawl out from our hiding space, squinting in the light, take up normal tasks such as blogging or spelunking.

All I'm saying is: t'ain't my fault.
