Brexit Update

Just a quick note to update most of you who are not obsessively reading everything they can find about Brexit. Prime Minister Theresa May has asked for a months-long extension of the March 29 deadline, three days from now.

May has been granted a 2-4 week extension by the EU. The smart money says that brief extension won't be sufficient to achieve the parliamentary majority she seeks.

At this point nobody knows what will happen. The Brits are in parliamentary terra incognita in so many different ways. I'm still hoping for a "no deal" exit, although strictly speaking it's none of my business.
