ELECTION NIGHT

Tonight, Nicholas said to me, "Dad, why are you not downstairs watching Barack Obama on TV? It is election night, right?" Mind you, I have no idea how he knew it was election night, but my fervent following of last year's election clearly made an impact on him. Maybe someday he and I will grab our popcorn and sit in front of the tube on primary nights, Convention night, and election night. I can only HOPE so.

One of my early political memories was walking with my dad right after reagan was elected and him being totally upset and all I recall was him saying was how he was 'an idiot'. I had no idea where we were walking to-I think no where. There was no destination. At the time we lived in North Dakota. It was cold as shit. Only in retrospect do I realize he was just walking to let off steam. He was pissed, and he brought me along.
