Four years ago Brian, Karl, and I attended the polls together. For each of the boys it was their first time ever to vote in a national (in any sort of, really) election. And standing there with them I felt so proud.
I wanted a photo to mark that special marker in their lives, but the boys gave me a hard time about it, so I have only my memories of standing with them in a long line outside of our polling building, in the sun and crisp autumn air.
We elected the right man in 2008, and my family will do so again today. Brian is currently at work, but Karl and I are now on our way out to make history happen once more. Bud will make his way to vote after work, and then....we will watch in wonder and horror as the spectacle unfolds.
