upcoming election day

Happy Monday folks! I hope you all had a restful weekend. I spent much of Friday and Saturday grading. But yesterday? Well, it just so happened to be the most glorious Sunday on record. An entire day of Katy time. Brunch, season five of The Office on DVD, a little Sunday night cooking...what more could a gal want?

Okay, enough with pleasantries. This is a big week for the ol' US of A. As if anyone could forget, tomorrow is Election Day across the country. Here in the Baby State, we get the day off. Do you? Seems odd to me. I highly doubt that Rhode Islanders are flocking to the polls and then just staying there all day long. Strange, no? Whatever. It means that I also get the day off from school and teaching so all's well that ends well.

In case you are interested in staying up to date on election day predictions, my new favorite political blog is FiveThirtyEight by Nate Silver. Scope it out. This guy is no joke. Every possible outcome is statistically analyzed and displayed in an easy to understand way. The guy's got infographics like whoa. You won't be disappointed.

Come back tomorrow for your regularly scheduled program of butter and sugar...in copious amounts, no less. But, in the meantime, VOTE!
