All I Ever Wonder

No-excuse early voting started today, and I exercised that right late this morning. I was darned close to going for a straight-ticket vote, but did cast my vote to re-elect our secretary of state. He's done a stellar job in the office, including promoting and expanding voting options, and he's pushed back against some of his party's excesses in the legislature. Those are good enough reasons to give him another term.

On the other hand, my vote for governor was about 75% for the incumbent and 25% against a useless AG whose campaign has been consistently dishonest and has relied heavily on the endorsement of Donald Trump and fucking fuck that sideways with a cactus. I'm hopeful that we'll be ride of Daniel Cameron come Tuesday evening.

I'm about as prepared as I can be for the little convention this weekend. Characters are printed and filed, as are the modules. I'd like to play something, too, and there are some good candidates. I'm looking forward to seeing some friends and getting some plans in place for 2024 events. Gods, I miss my friends.

The Rangers won the World Series last night. After 62 years and two World Series losses, I guess they were due. I didn't follow the Series closely this year, or baseball as a whole. Just a lull in my usual fervor for the sport. Football's got my interest for the next couple of months, then the long dead time of waiting for the next Opening Day.
