Well, the man I voted for for Governor squeaked by and won with a very narrow margin. My favourite Representative, Peter DeFazio, won again -- why anyone thinks of running against him is beyond me. (Not to sound like a total rah-rah, but this is seriously one great guy. For example, when Congress voted to give themselves raises, he not only voted no (feeling it inappropriate to do such a thing during a recession), but he then used the difference between the 'old' salary and the 'new' salary to establish a scholarship fund. It's so cool to have a Rep that really truly is a public servant.)

In happier news, I received an early birthday prezzie from a friend of mine, the newest Nick Bantock book, Alexandria. Signed with a personalization no less, and more than just my name. The poor man must think I have a legion of spies. Muahahahahaha!
