Bio
I am a proud mom of 2 wonderful boys, a computer geek and mathematician, a pianist, equestrian, and (as my name implies) an avid knitter. I'm addicted to books, yarn, techno gadgets and all things beautiful (my son's eyes and smile, classical music, sunsets, oceans, violins, cellos).

Check out my polling place!

Triangle Town Center

Democracy meets Capitalism.

I live in North Carolina and between now and November 4th we can participate in "No Excuse Early Voting".

As if I needed any more incentive to vote -- this year, our local mall -- Triangle Town Center is an Early Voting Location.  Is this some ingenious plan to get people to exercise their constitutional right/duty to vote as well as help spur the economy a bit?  

I can't go to our local B&N without spending at least 100 bucks!  I'll have to hit the food court first, too. 

Then if there is a line, I can spend my time munching away on Auntie Annie's Pretzels and a Mtn Dew while reading my latest knitting book. 

God Bless America!

That's really amusing--vote and stimulate the retail sector of the economy.
Thanks. One thing that was encouraging: Today I drove by NC State on my way to get my hair done. While driving by the campus, I saw a slew of college kids carrying Obama signs presumably headed to vote at the NCSU early voting location.

So at least SOME of the younger voters are getting out to vote. Maybe there is hope yet.

(Please pardon my pessimism -- I'm a Cubs fan)
excellent, thank you.
