I voted I'd be more excited if I was actually wearing one of those stickers, or if I got to vote on Tuesday, but my county has gone completely to vote by mail. And they are dragging me kicking and screaming. I love the ritual of going to vote - my memories go back to my childhood going into the booth with my mom (and getting to pull the lever next to my dad's name when he ran for DA or Judge) the sound of the curtain pulling behind us. And taking my kids to vote with us - they'd get to vote while we voted (President - George Washington or Abraham Lincoln) and we'd all get the stickers.

So, now, it's part of the neverending pile of mail that comes into the house. Put it with the bills, fill it out and put it in the envelope, and hey, has my signature changed since I signed up to vote - does this even count?

So, I urge you to participate in our democracy and vote tomorrow (if you have an election) and wear that sticker with pride. And think of me!
