It's that time again
Today is the big voting day---trust me, there is no way I can forget. Someone has called me ten times a day all week. Every time the phone rings one of the kids will answer it, pause for a few moments and then hang up. "It was for McCain," they tell me. "Why didn't you tell them he isn't here anymore?" I ask them. (It's a joke from when we had a cardboard cut out of him in our bathroom for over a week). I'll be glad to put an end to the phone calls, they even leave messages, which I think is over the top.
At school the kids even got a chance to vote in a mock election. Of course, Anna voted for Ralph Nader. "How cool would it be to have a president with the name Ralph?" she wanted to know. If names were really all that mattered, the candidates would have re-thunk their signs. I drive by and see: "McCain Pain" and can't help but think "Osama Bin Laden" for the other one. Bad signs this year.
Hopefully not in more ways than one.

How long have them been doing that because it didn't happen when I lived there...or maybe where I lived wasn't a HOT spot.
Doing the phone calls? I remember the calls when we were kids... were you registered to vote when you lived here?
