Most of the time when I write posts like this its because Jenn and I have gone out for brunch, or to a wine festival, or something out of our norm. But this past Sunday (July 16th) was actually a pretty average Sunday. It wasn't a particularly pretty day in Newport, nor was there anything major planned for the day. But by 7 AM it was clear, Roger Federer was about to defy age and reason once again.

For the past five years Game of Thrones has been the pinnacle of television. That's saying something as this is considered the golden age of television. There are so many great choices on services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime that its a little surprising that HBO has been able to keep its level so high with shows like Game of Thrones. The sixth season of one of Jenn and my favorite shows just wrapped up and I would argue its better then ever.

If you read this blog on any regularity you know that I'm a giant Game of Thrones fan.  The great news is that my love for the series (both TV and Books) rubbed off on Jenn after episode one of the HBO series, and so now she's hooked. We're also both big Coldplay fans. 

At this point you probably already know my love for Game of Thrones. I began listening to the audiobooks for the series back in early 2011 and just can't get enough. I'm caught up on the first five books of the series (the author says there will be seven) and am actually thinking about going back and re-reading the fifth book before the sixth is released.
