Irony

Today I could not vote.

The funny thing about it is, I really enjoy voting. I look forward to it each year. I love going to my local polling place on election day and seeing my neighbors. I chat with the little old ladies who live on my street and check everyone in at the door. We catch up on a bit of street gossip and exchange pleasantries.

This year, I joined their ranks.

Unfortunately, I found out that I could be a poll worker on Friday, and early voting ended on Thursday. Wouldn't be such a big deal if I'd been assigned to my home precinct, but I wasn't. I was assigned to Goodlettsville, 30 minutes away.

At least I know for next time. Live and learn...and vote!
