For a change, nothing of importance. First, I didn't get that colonoscopy done -- I cancelled the original appointment and re-scheduled for November 11. I should be ready to face the doctor (well, considering what's going to be done, I won't be facing the doctor) by then. I'll also have my parents' memorial behind me as well; maybe thoughts of them were factors in my initial hate/fear of getting the test done, even though their deaths were not releated to testing or any one particular test. Then there's bowling -- I got my average -- it's 127, so I'm not going to set the bowling world on fire. (Last night's games were 111, 110, and 170 respectively, for roughly a 130 average for the night.) Last night's bowling meant I didn't get to see the second part of the excellent three-part PBS special on Broadway, but nothing is going to keep me from seeing the third part tonight (note to readers: don't even think about calling between 9 and 11 pm). I'm not too concerned about missing part 2 -- this is one of those landmark specials that will be a staple of pledge weeks for years to come.
I'm still not voting for Bush. I'm not currently supporting Kerry (his 20-year record in the Senate -- hell, even his three-year record post 9/11 -- do nothing to make me think he should be the president). I'm waiting for my sample ballot to see if the Libertarian candidate is available in New Jersey. Telling me not to throw my vote away on a third party candidate will be met with a rousing appeal to talk to the hand -- I believe no vote is wasted if it is given to the candidate/party that most closely agrees with your view of the issues. Although I am not in agreement with their party platform regarding the war, they come closest to my own fiscal-conservative-and-social-liberal views, so they would earn my vote. Two weeks left to go, and I'm so excited about this election I could just, um, have a movement.
