I voted.

Saturday, October 30th, 2004

The deed is done. Austin and I went to the early voting center in Bynum this morning, waited about an hour and a half through some very heavy gnats, and cast our ballots. (Well, Austin cast his ballot provisionally, since they couldn't find his registration in the system.) Highlights! The voting center ...

And this is why my kids are sure to hate me.

My kids are lucky that they're still in the eye-glimmer stage, because if they existed, they'd be dressed in one of these timely costumes for Halloween. (via MeFi)

Democracy Inaction, indeed.

Look: for the next week or so, I'm going to be exceptionally election-obsessed. For example, the Boston Red Sox just took the lead in the top of the blah blah blah, and I'm surfing for election news and op-eds. So here's some more political stuff, which is important because I'm ...

Whew! I'm EXHAUSTED! Katy and I got in around 11pm last night, and I crashed super hard after setting my personal single-day driving record of 815 miles (1304 kilometers). I logged over 2000 miles of driving over the long weekend, which usually isn't my idea of a vacation, but I ...

Greetings from, um, Toronto. I think. We've been moving around so much over the past couple of days that it's become a beautiful gauzy mental pastiche. I don't even know what that means. We drove for about 15 hours (I logged about eight), crashed pretty hard with one of Katy's 54 ...

One of those revelation things.

If John Kerry manages to beat George W. Bush on Election Day, I will celebrate and dance and be more thrilled than ten Atlanta Braves World Series wins and ten Miami Dolphins Super Bowl wins. For serious. I'd dance in the street. If someone arranges celebratory rioting, I'd be right ...

Good weekend. Goooooood… weekend.

Hey, how 'bout a blog-style, "this is what I did over the weekend" post? Ready? Ok! I slept on Friday night, didn't I? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I don't go out on Fridays, since that's when the crazy people go out, and I'm usually tired from work and whatnot, you know. ...
