Tom was due on election day of 1996, so I went to the courthouse and voted absentee, back when that was a major pain. Turned out he was a few days early and I could have gone to the poll.

My local poll often has so few voters for primaries and bond elections that the election workers all want me to hang around with kids to amuse them!

Well, any other year it probably wouldn’t have been a big deal, but this was Midland TX in 1980 and the vote turnout in our precinct was fabulous. I think I stood in line for a couple of hours. Sat I mean. And, fortunately the baby was not born for about 3 more weeks.
