It's election day!

Leslie and I are going to gather this evening and bite our nails as the results come in. Go vote! Apparently (if you don't live in Oregon and therefore vote by mail) you can get an "I voted" sticker, and claim some free swag. Nice! Go make me proud, and get a free coffee while you are at it.



This is a historic day, and I think we all know that. You may have read or heard this being read on CNN today, and I think it's quite beautiful.

There is a moment, a simple moment, before history gets recorded.
Before it goes in the books.
Before it appears as a question on a game show.
Or, on a midterm exam.
A moment right before the headline is written.
There is a moment when history lives in the present.
When we can watch it unfold in real time, right before our eyes.
And we can all assume our place in it.
Some people live for history
We live for the moment just before.
