First things first, and I know you missed me at this time of year, but have you voted yet?? I mean, I have. From Italy. And if I can do it – you can do it. Don’t want to stand in line? Vote early. Really don’t want to stand in line – vote absentee. Whatever you do, figure out your districts, your candidates, and your issues – and vote.
