The Return To Innocence

Since Adam became an election judge, he had to be at the local elementary school -- where our neighborhood would vote -- by six this morning. I went with him, as there was a bus stop up the street that would go to the metro station. I sat and read my book as Adam and the other judges set up, and at ten to seven I waited in line outside the room, as people began filing in. I was the second person to cast a vote. I'm registered as a Democrat (though a Centrist/Libertarian in my heart), and I went through the process, put my vote in for Barack Obama, handed my card to the guy, blew a kiss to my husband, and headed out for the bus. It was phenomenally cold. My Raynaud's flared up instantly. It took about an hour for me to be able to feel my toes again.
