some things shouldn't be decided by a nose...

And of course somethings are much better when the slimmest margins separate the winners from the losers.  Most obviously this is true in sports.  Game 7 of the Stanley cup going to 3 OTs.  What could be better?  The world series going to extra innings in game 7.  A photo finish race.  All great stuff.

Its not so good when a newly married couple starts talking about children and the husband says big like 5 + kids and the wife wants zero.  That is a marriage which ain't gonna make it.  Fortunately my family all supports moving to Aspen.  The kids both did a shadow day at the school in December and asked if they had to return to Chicago or they could just stay.  My wife runs an outdoor experiential company with most clients on the left coast and can ski me into the ground.  And I think the legal weed business sound very interesting.  So although anxiety is rising and saying goodby is proving hard, we are all rowing the same direction on the same boat.  Yea.

Other things that shouldn't be decided by a hair:
1.  Brexit--really this needs to be 65%+ one way or the other so England can move forward--this is a big decision and really should be carried by a super majority not a vote to put the issue to bed.
2.  Some form of gun control (or lack there of) there should be a huge majority one way or the other
3.  Trump v Clinton--kind of crazy unknown playboy outsider vs status quo expert.  These are very different directions for the country to go, and it shouldn't be close
