Today’s essay has it all: a reference to small arms fire and tear gas, a meditation on a vexing corner of public policy, and the use of the word “urodynamic” (along with a tip on how men can help keep bathrooms cleaner, which I include at no extra charge).

Really, you might learn more about me in this one than you wanted to, but rest assured: the really awkward part is over in the first section and it’s all uphill from there.

It’s snowing here in Waldhurst, which is what it should be doing in January. I hope the weather is just as reassuring where you are. Enjoy, and thanks for reading.
