My absence and Game of Thrones finale

I am so sorry that I’ve become such a stranger to Facebook, but I’ve been in too much pain to spend time at the computer and yes, that delights the Deadline Dragon greatly. I had a cortisone shot last week; it did not help, though. So we are trying a series of four injections which the orthopedist thinks will help, although he cautioned I probably won’t get relief until I’ve had all four shots. I’ve decided to believe him, as that beats the alternative.
My deepest sympathies to the people suffering so much in the West VA flooding and in the California fires. Life has been turned upside down, too, in one of my favorite places—the UK. This has not been a good year for so many.
I will try to stop by when I can. Meanwhile, here is the EW recap for last night’s jaw-dropping finale of Game of Thrones; it also offers some interesting interviews with various cast members. Anyone anticipate those serpentine plot twists? I sure did not. http://www.ew.com/recap/game-of-thron...
