I am delighted that Americans are turning out in record numbers today to vote, because this is the most important election of my lifetime.
Today was the first time I ever waited to vote in Lexington, too. Polls here opened at 6 A.M. While Larry and I were waiting to vote, we were told that over [...]

Joe Girardi, the manager of New York Yankees, is the easiest subject on my list. However, his simplicity belies his importance around here, because this is the first time I ever written about baseball.

Hurray for September! I hope My Summer Meltdown is finally over.
I ended my own summer yesterday, after injuring my hip and lower back. I return <sigh> to Physical Therapy in a week.
