Election Day!

Thank goodness! After today, we can all be friends again. I credit my brother with that line. I worked the polls today as a Voting Rights Attorney. It was a hell of an experience, and I actually helped a handful of people, which was gratifying, even though Obama lost the precinct by a mere 28 votes. Things are looking good for Barack otherwise, and I am very happy--kicked back with a High Life watching coverage of the returns! GOBAMA!

Also, this is a picture of the beautiful young woman who won my extra ticket to the Last Chance for Change Jimmy Buffett concert. We sat in the second row, less than fifteen feet from Jimmy. As an encore, Mr. Buffett sang The Last Mango in Paris through tears. He dedicated his performance to Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes fame and the man behind the song, Captain Tony Tarracino, who died on Saturday, November 1st (the day before the concert). It was a moving experience. Later, I will recount in full detail exactly how we ended up in the second row and the anxieties that played into the experience.

Oh yeah, hi Mom! Love you!
