time crunch

5:15 - left work; walked down the hill to the car with Regina; drove home; checked the mail, grabbed a book to read at the polls; switched cars and drove to vote; had to stand in two lines cause I didn't know my ward number; voted; walked back to the car; tried to call Erin; decided to do some grocery shopping-drove towards Hannaford; at Hannaford, decided instead to get window cleaner; drove towards Wal-Mart; decided to pass Wal-Mart and drive out to Pine Lake instead; got to the lake; parked and walked down the road in the dark to the edge of the water; stood in the darkness and listened to the lake sounds; thought about the world, the election, friends, people I love, the future; stood for a long time listening to the fish flip out of the water and various animal rustlings; watched the clouds over the moon; watched the fog rise over the water; finally walked back to the car; drove back into town; parked at home; turned on the computer and checked email, Facebook and wrote a blog entry.
6:50 - left the house to drive to Mike's to watch the election.
