I find it interesting that few views of hell are a frozen hell. I know that in some parts of Northern Europe, hell is postulated to be frozen, not firery. But a frozen hell is rare. In fiction, only Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Darkover" series had a frozen hell, and in Dante's Inferno, Satan is at the bottom of hell, frozen up to his chest level. So a frozen hell does exist, it is just not thought of very often. As winter progresses across the nation this season, I'm beginning to consider the old adage of hell being here on earth. This is a long winter, this is an unforgiving winter, and this is a winter that I'm really tired of. Really, really, really tired of. Here's hoping that you have an outstanding weekend. I will celebrate my Sunday off by having Italian for dinner, as usual for my Saturday night treat.
