I love New York, especially when especially big things happen and today it’s “Two for Tuesday!” here in the Big Apple:
\n1. The NY Football Giants celebrated the aftermath of the catch<\/a> (aka an improbable super bowl victory) with a ticker tape parade through the Canyon of Heroes.<\/a> The last time a parade was held there was pre-9-11 when the Yanks won the World Series. I was there, just like I was in ’99. Everyone loves a parade, especially if Boston is miserable as a result.
\n2. The Democratic Primary in New York was held today – I voted before 8:00 am and the woman who handled my registration remarked, “I remember you – you vote in every election.” It’s true, I do. I firmly believe that if you do not vote, you are not truly a citizen and therefore you do not have the right to complain about whatever you find lacking in your society (and you know how much I love to complain). While I didn’t create the world I live in, I can help to alter it as much as possible. Voting is one concrete way you can help affect change. Each vote matters, whether you think it does or not.
\nLet’s save for another post the ludicrous fact that before I even had a chance to vote, my democratic choices were winnowed down to two ( I would liked to have voted for Joe Biden). The great fact of the day is that I had the singular pleasure of actually voting for a great friend of mine – he was on the ballot in my district as a delegate for Barack Obama. While I have friends and family who are elected officials, I never got to pull a lever for them. The only downside was that I couldn’t bring Bingham in with me – they were cracking down this year.
\nAs an aside, did you know the Dead got back together to rock out for Obama?<\/a> I think that is pretty cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
