I am glad to be at home today. We are snow bound here in the far northern Chicago suburbs! As everone knows, yesterday was a big day in the electoral process here in the U.S. I was happy to see that McCain and Huckabee fared well but disappointed that Hillary Clinton wasn’t KO’d by Obama as I had hoped. Stupidly I forgot to re-register to vote so when I went to my local polling site last night I was unable to vote. I will be sure to register in time for the general election in November. I was more concerned with supporting two local initiatives on the ballot than with national or state politics. There was a referendum for local school expansion as well as one supporting the construction of a brand new public library. I was quite pleased this a.m. to read that both initiatives passed!
