"May You Live in Interesting Times."

       I've heard several reporters recently ending a discussion of their reporting with the remark, "It's going to be interesting."  The statement comes from not knowing what's likely to happen, and president-elect Trump is often the unpredictable ingredient in attempting to know what IS likely to happen; hence "It's going to be interesting."

       It brought to mind the supposedly Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times."  For many people, at this moment, life is uncertain, tense, worrisome.  Interesting?  Maybe.  But moreso--scary.
