On the Crux of the Hex, Yet Still Vexed

It could have ended tonight. But it didn’t. No, no, no. A hex that has spanned four decades continued. In an ugly manner.

There are two more opportunities for this hex to be brought to an end. One on Christmas Eve, and one on New Year’s Day.

But after tonight, I’m bettin’ on the hex. It’s got a long track record and experience on its side, plus this hex has vexed me personally for 27 years. And it is not just me. It has affected and vexed hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.

There is no reason to believe it will stop. Ever.

I have now come to accept, when I die, even if it’s fifty years from now, the hex will outlive me.

If you do not know what I am talking about, count yourself as a fortunate one, and leave it at that for now. I’ll tell all when it is settled one way or another over the next two weeks. And rest assured it is the most trivial of things, in the great scheme of Life.

Yet it vexes me, nonetheless.
