DYLAN: "Who won the election?"
ME: "We don't know for sure yet but it looks like Bush won."

Fear
I was afraid to put on the news this morning. Actually afraid, to find out who won the election. Usually I wake up excited and expectant. Hoping my guy won. Hoping the rest of the country saw things the same way I did. Instead I woke in fear. Burrowing under the covers and hoping today would dawn bright. Fearing it wouldn't.
Several times this morning I thought I would cry. Tears came to my eyes and I forced them back telling myself this was not something to cry about. They are not tears for a loss but tears that sprout from fear of what is to come. I tell myself I must learn to live with the results. There is no alternative.

My fortune today:
For a good cause, wrongdoing may be virtous.
Interesting since it is election day.
BLUE, BLUE, BLUE
KERRY, KERRY, KERRY
Now go vote!
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
If you haven't yet
Go VOTE!
(unless you want to vote for the other guy,
then you can stay home in your jammies)
