Four Years Ago

So four years ago this morning, I got up very early so I would be at the head of the line at my polling place. It was already a block long when my son and I got there, which I took to be a good sign. When we got home, there was an email waiting for me from a Nazi who had posted dozens and dozens of antisemitic screeds on this very blog; he said he was renouncing that chapter of his life and asked me to take all of them down. I did and I took that as yet another propitious sign.

So, let's see what today brings, shall we?
