Apologies

I am sorry for the long absence, but this has been a rough summer. I recently had a MRI of the spine, but what I really need is a full body transplant; Natalie Dormer’s would be nice. Since that would involve time travel to the future, it is probably best that I rely upon the magic my chiropractor can usually conjure up. Meanwhile, I suddenly began to have serious vision problems, serious enough to keep me off Facebook. It turns out I had developed a secondary cataract. This is easily treated but I had to wait weeks for the laser surgery. I was finally able to get it done this week. Within a day, my vision was back to normal and I was able to abandon my backup plan to train Holly as a seeing eye dog.
Now many of us are dealing with an unwelcome visitor, Hermine. I hope that all of my friends and readers in the path of this storm are staying safe and dry. Not a good ending to the summer.
I will try to begin catching up with some of the Today in History posts that fell by the wayside in August. But first here are the results of the Game of Thrones election. The winners are Jon Snow and his running mate, Lyanna Mormont, with 35% . Daenerys and Tyrion came in second with 32%, and Littlefinger and Sansa scored 31%. Sounds as if Westeros is as divided as we are, doesn’t it? Oh, and Cersei managed to garner 2% of the vote; who says the age of miracles is dead? http://thegotparty.com/
