You know … if I threw a party for fifteen of my closest friends advisors, I would hope that they stayed until the shin-dig was all over. If almost half of them decided that they’d had enough, I think I would start to doubt my abilities as a host. But that’s just me …
“Which one will you choose?” You know, I thought all of the decision making was over and done with after November 2, but I was very wrong. With the importance of world politics set to the side and the fate of our next four years begrudgingly sealed from an executive perspective, the last few weeks …
… from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that I have met The Artist Occasionally Known As H on the time-honored battlefield of tiles and squares, of letters and words.
