The exceedingly strange election season of 2016 has left me uncharacteristically speechless.  Not to worry, I haven’t disappeared. Simply keeping a low profile on the blogosphere until the unpleasantness is over.

Early voting starts today in Maryland, and I plan to vote for Hillary Clinton tomorrow.

Maybe 2016 will fade quickly like a bad dream.  Maybe the storm will pass and American politics will regain some sanity and civility.  We can only hope.
