Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

I’m Sorry!

My parents can’t take the stress of watching the election results come in, so they are heading even further away from civilization than they already are (a cabin in the woods) in their camper.

We’re off for two days camping in the morning. We’ll have a radio with earphones for my wife, but I’m going to try to wait until it’s all sorted out. The tedium of watching in 2004 was just too damned painful. May our collective Karma and Truth, Justice, and the American Way prevail.

I’m still feeling really sorry that I didn’t get my act together enough to be able to participate in this election. I’ve been so focused on my own “junk” that I’ve been pretty bad all year about getting the important details taken care of. I told the woman I live with that my parents were very disappointed in me for not registering, and she said, “I GAVE YOU THE FORM!” So I’m sorry to her, too. And to everyone else, too. I promise that It won’t happen again!

I’ve seen a lot of blog posts this morning reminding me to vote (I really am so sorry), but these are my favorites:

Such a Long Way

By Abby at 1:40 pm on Monday, November 6, 2006
From where I live to my parents’ house is “1,112 mi (about 22 hours 46 mins)” according to Google. DAMN, that’s far, especially with cats. This is going to be such a long way traveling alone. Gotta make a plan. I was going to try to do it in two days, but I’m not sure I (not to mention Jeep and Maggie) can take it.

This is fascinating. I didn’t know things like this happened. Gives me a little faith in humanity.

Can I Vote?

By Abby at 3:11 pm on Friday, November 3, 2006
I have a Massachusetts driver’s license. If they asked me if I wanted to vote when I signed up for it last year, I would have said yes. I didn’t think I would be here to vote, but I am. I would have signed up using my JP address. Can I still vote, even though I’m now in Dedham? Will they check? Is there a handy site where I can input my name and see if I’m on “the list”? I’ve Googled a few things with no luck. The closest I get is a site that tells me where I vote IF I’m registered. Those Healey attack ads are so hostile and tacky that I just can’t not vote if it’s at all possible.
