47. well Hello!!! :-)

Mar 2016

My plans:

It'll be a chilly day in the Northeast.
I will probably have a bit of a cold.

My polling place is a tiny town hall in a tiny town in a rural part of Northern NY.
I will park in the tiny parking lot out front. Stuff some tissues in my coat pocket and trudge into the town hall. Its a red area of NY and I expect I will be one of the rare Bernie/Hillary supporters.

I will sign my name in the book, and take my ballot. Sniffle a bit. Blow my nose, Ponder why I live in a part of the country that is not my style. (Blame hubbie)

I will fill in the circles with tears in my eyes and cast my vote for (gasp, sniffle, whimper), Hillary.

shove the ballot thru the machine, wait for the confirmation that my "vote" registered.

Then drive the 5 minutes to my home.
And cry. And pray that Hillary wins.

In 4 years, I will campaign for her to be primaried.

That's what I expect I will be doing.
