As I write this on a Monday evening, I am winding down celebrating my birthday. How old, you ask? That’s a rather personal question, but since you asked and since we’re all in this together, I’ll tell you. I’m 47.
So in light of my 47th birthday, entering my 48th year, on the downhill slide to 50, etc., etc., ad nauseum, I toyed with the idea of writing 47 takeaways of how this 2018 campaign has taken this writer from an optimistic (almost homeristic) supporter to someone struggling to see any light at the end of the tunnel.
