To Brexit, or Not to Brexit ....

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow, you're only a day away.
That's the refrain of the iconic song from the musical Annie. It feels particularly appropriate in contemplation of day-after-tomorrow's Brexit vote, long promised by PM David Cameron and finally almost here.

It looked like the Brits would vote "leave" until the Labour MP lady was murdered by a crazy who favored leave. Then it looked like the tide had turned in favor of "remain."

Right now, it seems too close to call. I'm guessing the Brits will vote Leave, if only narrowly, and perhaps by a wider margin.

Standing somewhat apart from the continent is a long-standing British tradition, one that has served them well. Culturally, the Brits are unlike their continental neighbors, especially in matters of economics.

We'll know the answer ... Thursday.
