I voted! I cannot even begin to express how good that felt. Illinois has early voting, and I wanted to get it done before the trip so that I don't have to worry about it when we get back. So Zen and I headed over this morning, and wow. The place was full. At one point there was even a line. Very cool. And...there was a moment there where I came thisclose to tearing up when I hit the button for Obama/Biden and the green checkmark appeared. Yes. We. Can.
