Election, schmelection

Buddy's all grown up and voting early...all by himself. Historically, he's called his parents to see who they're voting for, but this time around procrastinated until he was in line for early voting. Fearing embarrassment and potential mob violence, he refrained from contacting Ma & Pa until after submitting his vote, calling to see if he had made the right choice. He's a big boy now!I may look sad in this picture, but in this case, my inability to exercise my political voice is a plus. It gives me a great excuse to turn off the unceasing tide of political warfare I'm subjected to in place of witty commercials and relieves me of any civic duty and responsibility to research. Not having been able to vote anywhere I've lived has fueled my apathy for all things political. Tuesday can't come soon enough.
