As a man once muttered to my mother while staggering off the golf course, thank goodness that’s over. I refer of course to the federal election. But what can I say, writing before knowing an outcome that may be crystal clear by publication time? Or mud-murky because of all the mail-in votes, etc. My guess is everybody lost. But also won.
