As I write this, the country is finally starting to settle down from an election that has been unprecedented, kind of annoying and certainly one of the most interesting rides in recent political history.
I have a theory: This election is really an elaborate plot to make reality more like a Mel Brooks movie.
I have had quite a few well-informed conversations this week about current events in general, and the presidential race in particular. I am impressed with the level of quality discourse I found for the taking at ASU.

An annual tradition I knew nothing about, the challenge consists of various representatives of Valley media outlets participating in 1/100 of a triathlon against mayor Hugh Hallman. The winner is awarded $1,000 for his or her favorite charity. When the city called to invite me, it sounded like a good time — the little tidbit about 6:30 a.m. was left out. Somehow forgetting that it has been many moons since my varsity track days, that my bike is known lovingly as "The Wonder Steed" in deference to its lumbering size, and that I once outgrew my swimsuit and didn't realize for two years, I said I would be one of the media competitors.
