The sparkling snow
lingers in the air
like fairy lights did
over Oxford Street.
Hot tea warms
the American chill in my bones,
though it doesn’t reach
my feet.
They can almost sense the hard
cold
cobblestones.
The winter gray is dappled with starlight,
there is comfort there,
knowing you are under the same
twinkling
sky.
These small tokens gift me
Zoltaric hope
that one day
we will
meet again

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
