Winter is already here, and if I had any trouble remembering that, I need only do a quick mental inventory of the aches I’ve accumulated this winter, the vast majority of them localized in my lower-back, entirely shovel-related.
But, here at the Cranston penthouse, this aspiring author reminds himself that Spring is Coming. Spring is coming, and when frozen water stops falling out of the sky in real life, when the flowers poke out of the ground again, Game of Thrones returns – all the more reason to focus on the near-future.
Of course, the fourth season of Game of Thrones, based on the second half of A Storm of Swords, by George R.R. Martin, begins April 9, when real-world winter may yet still be sending foul, driveway and street-clogging weather at us here in the climatically schizophrenic Northeast. But Game of Thrones will help me while away the indoor hours till May, when spring will likely be properly in force.
From that point on, thank God, the Stark motto, “Winter is coming,” will once again be a fictional warning of a fate long months away. Make sure you pay heed with liberal time at the beach, the wearing and appreciation of summer dresses and attending every barbecue you’re invited to. I know I will.
