Two Thousand Years Old
And These Stones Are Still With Us
Introduction
This is inspired by the thoughts of things that have lasted from ancient times to the present day, One book I have on the subject is Julian Cope's "The Modern Antiquarian" and I also live close to a section of Hadrian's Wall and often visit the Temple of Antenocitus and the selfie for this piece is me leaning on a column there.

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.

Got the sense of awe and history throughout
Nicely done!
First love the shirt. This to me would make a great introduction to an ancient history lesson on Hadrian's Wall or Roman culture.
This was so beautifully written! Loved your poem!
Iβm envious, I want to live a short distance from Hadrianβs wall!
