V-Day or D-Day?

Today is election day. The day we've all been waiting for--or dreading. Voting is easy for me. I simply walk downstairs and vote in my lobby, on one of those old-timey machines where you pull a big lever and a bunch of little ones. But no matter, I would have walked a mile to vote. Happily, it looks like Democrats will clean up in New York. The national situation is less clear, though Dems are expected to take control of at least the House. I will be watching, for sure, nervously. I've lived through three miserable election nights this century (2000 was awful, but 2004 may have been worse), and I'm hoping this one will be different. Time will tell. I shouldn't get too worked up over this, because it is out of my hands. I hope I wake up tomorrow to a new political landscape. If not, I may step in front of a bus. Okay, I jest. But I will be severely depressed. Well, like I said, time will tell.
