Make time to vote next week! And if you live in a state that allows early voting (or mail-in ballots only, like mine), do it NOW. It took me a good hour to go through the voter's guide because we have an extra-long ballot of issues and candidates. But I needed to learn more.

I voted earlier this week, so all that's left for me to do is to urge you to do the same. (And bite my nails down to the quick, while we wait for election results on Tuesday night.)
