The timing of this article is admittedly awful. In one sense, answering this question in January could be the least helpful time to do it. My apologies, but I honestly didn't think about addressing this topic until now. And now that it's in my head and heart, I don't want to wait for 10 or 11 months, and then try to remember to bring it up at the end of 2019.
