Just A Photo Illustrated Day In My Life!
Well, yesterday was yet another rainy fall day. It was also Election Day and Mlle. Renee woke me up early so I could get out and vote before the waiting lines got too long. It’s only a 15-minute walk to my polling place and since I’ve been walking there every Election Day since I turned 21, I decided to risk the occasional drip-drop of the falling rain.
It’s an easy walk … except for the last two blocks which is uphill all the way.
For some reason that walk to the little red grade school seems to get steeper every year.
And the voting line always seems to run out of the door of the gym and around the corner.
Actually, I only had to wait in line for about an hour.
Then I took a bus and a train …
To reach my destination…
MALLVILLE!
Also known as Brentwood Pointe to differentiate itself from Brentwood Square and Brentwood Center which are a little farther down the road.
My first stop was …
Yes, I know … it’s a dumb name for place you go to get a haircut
After I was looking dapper again I walked next door to …
Dierberg’s
Which is really a high-class stupid-market.
I wanted to stop there for lunch at LuLu’s Chinese Express, which is the fast-food version of LuLu’s Seafood which is currently the to Oriental food restaurant in the city. 
I ordered Kung Pow Chicken and a Lo-mein side and the food is just as good as the original restaurant. The serving size was so large, I took half home for my dinner. You know when you eat Chinese, you’re away’s hungry again in an hour.
I then did my grocery shopping and headed home on the train.
When I got home the first thing I saw was …
Mlle. Renee’s friend who was hoping I’d put out some sunflower seeds for the birds. I did, and then I took a nap before dinner and a long evening of watching the Election Returns on TV.
And it was a very long and surprising evening.

... a somewhat unknown or perhaps imaginary actor, writer, director, producer, photographer, friend, brother, uncle and all round good fellow that you really should get to know because he lives with that most glamorous fourpaw Mademoiselle Renee. (Mlle. Renee for short)
It’s funny. I vote early for convenience, but the polls are actually a little less crowded on the actual election day–plus we don’t get stickers if we early vote. I’m just glad I have the freedom to vote! And what a night it was. =)
I went to the polls with dire feelings about the results, they failed to give me my sticker because one of the machine’s crashed and I ended up staying up half the night. Yes, Renee noted I was acting somewhat crazed toward the end.
