I finally watched an episode of “Game of Thrones.”

So I finally caved and watched the series pilot of “Game of Thrones.” Here is my summary:

[SPOILERS.]  Albino forest monsters are f**king terrifying. Boromir actually survived “The Lord of the Rings;” now he’s a d**k to his subordinates. Cool Sarah Connor dyes her hair blonde; lame Sarah Connor gets nude. Peter Dinklage is a fantastic actor; every other character is dwarfed by his intellect. (See what I did there?)  Wolf pups look suspiciously like Husky pups.

Dragon eggs look disappointingly fake. Barbarians act all badass; 1980’s Conan could take all of them. People have to take a vow of celibacy to guard Donald Trump’s wall, for some reason.

A child is named “Bran;” is he good for roughage?  Denis Leary Doppleganger is a d**k to children.

Seriously, though — this show is awesome.

“Crow’s Feet,” by Eric Robert Nolan

Leave a comment

Crow’s feet arise
Beside my eyes.
There’s no bird ruder
Than age’s raven.

Marched and marked nocturnally
All across my face, did he.
Is “goose-stepping blackbird”
A contradiction in terms?

I try not to publicly post things that are too personal, but I would like to share a quick sentiment here tonight.  My family has already experienced great loss in 2016, and today we lost my younger cousin as well.

He was 38 years old.  He had been hospitalized and unresponsive since Friday night, when an undiagnosed heart disease became acute.

Yes, I know that we have all heard it before, but as this year has been so difficult, I can’t help but reiterate the familiar message — you never know how much time you have.

Live each day to the fullest.  Keep your family close, and take the time that you need to connect with them or say what needs to be said.  Make it a priority.  You never know when they will no longer be there.
