This new limited series on Netflix is causing a lot of controversy in the archaeological community. Graham Hancock, the host, loves to say, ā€œHuman beings are a species with amnesia.ā€ To prove this he travels around the world to pre-historic sites and makes the argument that an advanced human civilization existed during the last Ice Age before being wiped out by asteroid strikes around 12,800 years ago. I’m a natural born skeptic, but I’ve read several of Hancock’s books and they raise a lot of questions that archaeologists haven’t, or can’t, sufficiently answer.Ā Ā Sometimes I wonder why I’m so interested in the mysteries of prehistory. The conclusion I’ve come to is that they calm me by making my own problems—finishing my Perfectly Imperfect, writing the next book, death—feel less significant.

That thing is your style. Probably it’s still raw, which is why others don’t see what you see. Refine your thing, your idiosyncrasy. Sharpen it but don’t smooth out all the rough edges, these are what stick in people’s brains. Be inelegant. Be brave.

You have to be a member to shop here. Members only. Sorry. It’s called luxury branding. Can’t let just anybody in on these deals. These softer than soft, warm, fuzzy deals. Better luck in the next life.Ā What’s that, you don’t need a membership to buy online? Aw naw!

My first date with Allie was a dog walk. The uncomplicated joy of dogs running free allows for the clarity to make good life decisions. No leashes, no masters.
