Election Day

Did you vote? To let you delve into my inner dork political self I will let you know something about me. I have always loved politics and the process for creating laws and everything that ties into it such as the media, precinct captains and the Chicago political machine.

Some people have their fantasy football teams or their roto baseball leagues and so forth, but I found something that seems more tangible to me and that is my Fantasy Congress league. It works like fantasy football; you pick your senior and junior members of both chambers and you accumulate points for how far their bills make it.

I came in 27th last year out of 100, so I am hoping to improve better.

My All-stars:

Yes, gotta go with an Independent from Vermont as a selection(and yes I know this is his last term; I need to change that). I am thinking of making some baseball cards with key stats and so forth, but then that would only cement my true dorkness.

In Maya news; she is cutting her 6th tooth, is up to about 12 words and she is walking about 66% of the time. I think by T-giving she will be near 100%. I am hoping that she will be able to cut the grass by next Summer.

Wow! I've always loved politics, too and have a secret desire to be a senator. However, compromising my values tends to stand in the way. Hastert!!! Hmmmm!!!! Hope teething doesn't involve much crying. I remember when Jill was teething and got hold of Jerry's beer and drank the whole thing. She was REALLY not crabby at all after that. Love, Jerry and Joan
