Count Me Out

The first presidential debate is tonight and I am opting out.

I recognize the importance of this election and take my right to vote seriously, but if choosing between these candidates is like going to the dentist (painful, but necessary), then watching the debates is like going to the dentist and refusing Novocaine! Why make it worse than it already is?!

Instead, James and I are going to The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra concert at Tech.

At the end of the night we'll be happier :-)

Love ya'll,

Shelli
