Yesterday's absence

We had a primary election here in Pennsylvania yesterday, and it was a big one in Philadelphia, with an open mayoral primary and all the City Council members up for reelection (as well as lots of judges and other offices, and a list of ballot questions as long as your arm). Anyway, I worked the polls all day, which was its usual blend of rewarding and exhausting. And the results were a mixed bag of the sort I suppose you always get if you're interested in more than one candidate. So I wasn't here, and now I am, but with a lot of catching-up to do on life, news, and all the rest, and perhaps a few days' rest needed to regain my connection to it all.

Meantime, meet our next mayor, Michael Nutter! whoot!
