That was the first year your brother could vote. He was going out of town or something, so I said he and I'd go down to Election Central to get absentee ballots.We took them back to my office and we were poking chads like nobody's business.I realized that I had made a mis-punch, so I carefully stuck the chad back in the hole and put a tiny piece of tape over it to hold it in.It was on a down-ballot race, so it shouldn't have made any difference on the Bush-Gore affair, but I've always wondered if my ballot was one of those held up on the evening news.After everything went crazy, I dug around in the wastebasket and recovered the chads. I ran across them the other day in a Ziploc bag. Wonder what they're worth? I should have done that in 2000. That was the first year your brother could vote.

If everything goes well, no one will every see my name. However, if Palm Beach County it its typical mess, I’m hoping the folks doing the recount will see my name and give me a call to figure out how I voted. Then, I hope to get my 15 minutes of fame on CNN.

I just gotta come up with a cool nickname; something better than ‘Joe the Plumber’.
