Delicious Anticipation

After weddings and anniversaries of things dominated the past few weeks, it's nice to have a relatively quiet week even if said week does lead up to what is promising to be the Most Stressful Day Ever For Anyone Who Cares About America.

I think either way it goes, there'll be some post partum depression. You're not involved in something (in this case, the election) for so long (what's it been, like two years since this cycle began?) and simply move on immediately. November 5th will not be pretty for the part of the country that sees it's candidate lose. I'd venture to say that there'll even be a 'victory hangover' for the party that wins, again, because of the long gestation of this event. If recent politics are any indication (and I think they are), either side will certainly be howling for days to come afterwards..

On the other hand, like in any good story, I invite you to enjoy the delicious anticipation of whatever the next few days and the next few weeks bring. It's agonizing, it's stressful, but there is a sort of perverse pleasure in riding this roller coaster. It'll be over soon enough and then we'll have real work to do, all of us.
