I'm still getting used to these conditions I've been living under since I hit 40, and had to acknowledge to myself that I'm middle aged.
Contemporary pop culture is now an unfathomable mystery. I can no longer wear my baseball cap backward without looking like an idiot. Worse, I starting to suspect that I NEVER could! And I can't stay up until 2 a.m. on Wednesday without still feeliing it Thursday.
All of which is an unforgivably convoluted way of saying that my butt is still dragging from covering the primaries Tuesday night.
I'm not complaining, though. I'm enough of a geek to find politics entertaining. And it always does my heart good to see the people who care enough about their communities to go out and vote in municipal primaries.
Thank God for the self-appointed government watchdogs. They keep this big ol' engine of democracy humming (albeit with a sometimes strident undertone).
