Well Throners, our journey has come to an end and I hope you were all as pleased with the finale as I was. (I'll let you guess how pleased that is) While I've enjoyed this past month and a half's GoT diversion, it's time to check back in with our own realms.

So, by all means, take a break from the madness for the sake of your own sanity. Just don't confuse taking a break with checking out.
...but just out of curiosity, is that Master of Grammar position still available?
