Although politics is a big part of my life, I don't think of this as a place to proselytize. Still, being in one of the states that's next up in the Democratic primary has been interesting. I'm getting handwritten personal letters from people in Massachusetts, personal visits from people from the state next door. I've done this myself, and it's a little strange to be on the receiving end.
I think a lot of people I know are basing their votes on "electability." I have a different theory. I think the primary is the time to vote with your heart, to let your views be represented to the final candidate. So I'll be going for the socialist elf, who's so low in the polls here that I had to spell his name for the pollster who call the other night. Oh, well.
My husband has meanwhile given up on the major parties but will probably vote Dem in the big election. ABB!!
Apologies to any Republicans who didn't want to hear about this (but chances are you aren't surprised).
In other news, it's really nice to be electrified again, after 4 days without it. Interestingly, my muscles had really tightened up due to all the time spent in a house that was usuallly 40F at warmest(although I spent time in my sauna-like office, and sometimes just drove around with the car heater on full blast). I was really beginning to be in pain in my lower back and right hip until I had an extra long yoga class today. Thank God somebody figured out yoga!
And finally, two new ways to get carpal tunnel (but you'll be happy!):
