I have a concussion, so I can barely think straight right now. I'm going to vote after work though. After voting I will go buy groceries, then come home and watch tv with a bag of ice on my head until a winner is announced.

I was up at 530 because I was too nervous about the election and couldn't sleep. I watched CNN for awhile then reviewed my voting guide. Got some coffee at 7 and walked to the polls. Waited 45 minutes and took about 5 minutes to vote. I'm working now then going to get some beers and food with some friends at 4 and stay up until we have a president.
