I like the Summer for one reason and one reason alone: During the summer people oil themselves up and then they go out into the Sun and they mummify themselves for our ( well, my ) edification.

A little sand, a little sun and no water and that’s how mummies were created.  I know this much because I am a archaeologist nerd, but there is a big difference between experiencing and just reading about experiences.

Even though I had the privilege of being  a mortician’s apprentice and even though I learned the art of embalming, I never got the chance to learn about mummification so I am grateful for this opportunity.

On top of that, I hate Summer and I think people who love it are odd.

I love winter because it is dark, it is quiet and each winter evening is full of mystery and promise and ghosts.

Lots of them.
