Kickass, the doorstop dog, joins the keeper in suggesting that to avoid intimidation by the awesomeness of the choices to be made on this election day it might help to compare choices made under less stressful, life-affirming circumstances, but with today’s election options firmly in mind:
*While shopping—Choose living room comfort items but do not forget bathroom tissue, stool softener and a clean-up mop.
*While driving—Choose a smile instead of a rigid finger to signal today’s lane-changer and tailgater.
*While visiting Grandma—Choose to bring flowers and a little bottle of vodka over a funeral home promo pamphlet.
*While walking the dog—Choose to use a pickup bag, or not depending on your political party recommendations.
*While watching election returns—Choose to curb your enthusiasm, or not, especially if you are in the company of a woman like Phyllis who wears a Kamala t-shirt.
