My journey this week takes me to the Election next Tuesday. My wife, Judy, and I voted this Tuesday at an early voting site. We took turns voting because we had one piece of paper — a voter’s guide — that we had discussed and annotated with our choices. We both wanted to take the guide with us to remember all the names we had chosen to vote for in this General Election. Afterward, Judy and I compared that when voting she mark a choice differently on the ballot from what we had agreed on — surprise. But we still love each other…. and we love our family and friends who probably voted differently from us.

They too seem to be in celebration mode.

Today we’ll talk about several subjects taken from a recent Resource Recycli newsletter, plus somethin I found about donating blood. (I’m up here in Minesota where it’s snowing right now.)
