Before the results of the constitutional amendment vote come in and I lose my temper, I just wanted to say to all of you Virginians who got out and voted today: I’m proud of you. The Times Dispatch quotes numbers indicating that at 2pm today, with a full 5 hours more to go, over 30% of you in Fairfax had come out and votes. In Loudoun it was somewhere between 25 and 40%. It’s not the Newport News numbers of 60%, but it’s still a good mid-day turnout on a non-Presidential election and may indicate a highest-ever turnout for us in an off-year. Thanks for getting out there and making your voice heard.
even if you voted wrong
Whoops, sorry.

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
