Primary Election Day

I was brought up in a political family.  My parents were very active in local politics, but never ran for office.  I was recruited as a kid to go door to door handing out flyers.  I was taught to vote in every election, that every election counted.  As a jaded adult I feel like when I vote in these small primary elections my name is being thrown into the active jury pool for the city and county.  Wrong way to think, Jack's daughter.  While my crazy dad has gotten crazier about politics, I feel I've softened a bit.  I know this is an important process (thank goodness we live in America, dammit!)  I have a new polling place this year (I live within walking distance - just a few blocks - from the local grade school but I've never been able to vote there?) which happens to be where I work.  I am putting this out there...I will go vote today.  I promise....
