Huh Huh… I Said “Caucus”

Yep, we just caucused. That’s a funny word. Kinda sounds dirty but it’s not. Speaking of kind of dirty words, did you know that in England, the word “kellogs” is slang for a man’s testicles? I never knew that. I love that most of my work colleagues are in the UK - it’s like a whole new world of salty language.

It was a completely new experience. I’ve never voted in a primary before, because normally the nominees are good and decided by the time Texas holds its primary. I’m not an apathetic voter but it’s been hard to get excited about voting when you are the minority in your state. Thanks to the electoral college, it just seems like a waste of time. I know that voting is not a waste of time, so please no lectures about how sacred the right to vote is. But when you know that your voice is really not being heard, it makes you wonder why you bothered to speak up. I always will speak up but you get my meaning. However, the primary process this year has been so inspiring, it has really made me feel hopeful about the future of the country and it has made me so excited to participate in the process.  No matter who the nominee is, I really hope that the rest of the election and the new administration can continue to foster this spirit that is rampant right now.

Let’s keep the spirit of change going! There are a lot of things that need changing and healing. I have hope that it can happen.
