The Stars Are Aligning

May they shine down on a new path for the US tomorrow.

B & B on stage together. I mean, come on. How cool is that? (Thanks for sending the link to these pics to me, Ames!)

This is the first time I've donated money to a political campaign, and yesterday, for the first time, I volunteered and did some voter canvassing for a few hours.

Usually, I feel like I'm essentially voting against someone on the other side, but with Obama, I'm really voting for him.

Please stars, please continue to align. Holy cow do we need it.

My canvassing partner had two interesting things to say: 1) that her 82-year-old mother has never voted before in her life but she's making a point to vote this time, for Obama, and 2) that her husband has voted Republican all his life and he's voting for Obama.

Funny conversation from yesterday's canvassing:

65-year-old woman opens the door to a small apartment in a building no one seems to be taking care of.
"Hi, I'm David and I'm with the Obama campaign. I was hoping to talk to John Wheeler."
"Oh, he ain't home. But he's voting for Obama!"
"Great. He knows where to vote and everything?"
"Yup."
"And would he need a ride?"
"Oh no, he got a car."
"And how 'bout you, are you gonna vote?"
She smiles broadly: "Oh, I wish I could sweetheart, but I'm a convicted felon!"

Safe to say, the nicest felon I've ever met.
