Return of the Neanderthal

After a moderate hiatus, it looks like the Neanderthals are coming back to life. We have a book to read, we have a date to meet, and we have a location to muster the horde. Hopefully, we'll have a particularly winsome waitress to convey the libations. Well done, Michael Lumpkin, for getting things moving again.

So I thought that we should give blogging a try in honor and support of the Neanderthal revival. Personally, I really should be a bit more blogosphere savvy for professional development reasons, and this is as good an excuse to get started as any. Hopefully it'll provide a place for us to continue our conversations. I ran into and paddled with Neanderthal-in-absentia Rich Eustis at the Ocoee this weekend, and he gave me the shove I needed to give this a try. For Brian Sullivan, Rich Eustis, John Mullen and others who now live way out of town, here's your opportunity to freely participate (though we'd obviously love to see you in person at the meetings).

Feel free to pass along any suggestions for how this ought to work. Welcome to the blogosphere, Neanderthals. It's so simple, a caveman can do it.

UPDATE: I've sent out invites to everyone on Lumpy's original email--the NPS faithful--to have authorship on this site. If you have something you want to throw out here for consideration, post away!
