It’s a pricey purse. I know my brother complained a bit about buying it as a Christmas present for his girlfriend, Cindy. Eventually, he caved; especially after she bought the Playstation 3. She carries the purse everywhere. These days her bag is adorned with a couple of buttons. She’s excited about voting in her first presidential election today along with millions of other first-time youth voters.

You know who else is voting for the first time today? Papá Chepe and Mamá Toni. They’ve been citizens for a few years now, but had not registered. Papá Chepe registered just so he could support Obama.

I’m off to vote in a few minutes. I never do early voting or send in an absentee ballot. I want my sticker!
