When it comes to life’s trials, having a magazine column due the day before an incredibly hyped-up, momentous election might not rank anywhere near the top. But it is a bit of a conundrum. As Bill Shakespeare once wrote, “To write on a Monday; to be published on a Friday; oh, the woe! How can one avoid the relevance of one’s entire column being nuked from orbit with the not-yet-revealed events of the following day?”
Just kidding. Shakespeare didn’t write that. I did. Close enough, right? In short, I was a bit stuck for a column topic, but happily, at the last minute, the heavens dropped a subject directly into my lap.
