Election day

So election day...finally...I've taken the day off so I can go vote with out pressure to leave the long line and return to work without voting. Plus, I think I will come home and drink a ton of vodka, so that I can see Vladmir from my backyard one last time. Which I noticed that post is gone and I'm not sure what happened...maybe too much vodka and confused fingers? I also took the day off to spend with my oldest son. He will be moving into his own place tomorrow. It's all very weird. I feel excited about him moving and also a little sad and scared for him. I think he is feeling the same. I can't ask because he's sleeping...at least he's not on my couch, showing me his, well, I'll spare you the visual.

Since, it's election day, I'm pondering how my two staunchly Repub parents raised 3 very liberal offspring. Both my siblings and myself will be casting a vote for Sen. Obama. Both my parents are convinced he is a Muslim, terrorist anti-christ, then turn around and tell me to enjoy my anti religious, socialistic Messiah. What? Make up your mind people. He can not be both the anti-Christ and second coming of Jesus. It just doesn't work that way in my world. What I really find amusing though, is that way back when I was growing up and forming my opinions of the world, both Mom and Dad were staunch liberal Democrats. Hippies if you will or even if you won't. They have both asked me in the past 6 months where I got such a "liberal" view on politics. I just smiled and said, you were a good parent and taught me well. Then they both changed the subject....oh how soon we forget.

I feel so sad for them...they continue to deny the truth and sling "Obama" mud at me. They are too busy digging in the dirt, to form an honest opinion. My mother called me about two weeks ago and told me to watch out because Mr. Obama was going to be taking 1500$ out of my checking account that very night. I gotta hand it to her, that was one of the best laughs I'd had in a long while. I've forgotten to ask her how that turned out for her...oh well, probably for the best.

This is Zac's (sleeping son) first election and he's very excited about taking part in such an historic election. Now, we just both hope things WILL change. And we both hope Diebold will not rob the American people of their opinions again.

Well, I'm off to vote, I hope you are doing the same.

Peace and love,
