Next stop was the Dolfin Lounge whe we met up with the McClain’s for Tiff’s bday party. It was a karaoke extravaganza, and a great time! Tiff sang, I sang, I got another dad singing, it was a riot. Headed home about 11:30pm. 

20241105 - First Time Voter!

20241105 - Up too early and G&I headed to the the voting booth for G’s first vote. The lady there asked G if it was his first time voting, and then announced to everyone he was a first time voter and everyone cheered and clapped for him. In the car for a long trip north to Heidelberg University. It was a very personalized visit and we met with the assistant baseball coach, a guidance counselor and a cheerleader gave us a tour and a t-sheet. The school is small but beautiful! On to Bowling Green State University for a completely different experience. Huge room full of people for the presentation part and 3 families per tour guide. It was a much bigger campus with a lot more walking, very similar to Miami, except the buildings and girls were prettier at Miami. After the tour we headed home. Home and gave L a report of the day and then G took off. J stopped by after he and D voted and we chatted a bit and ate dinner. L&I hung out the rest of the evening watching the election results come in. I was up until 4am watching and have to say I believe the citizens of the USA sent a HUGE message to the Left tonight, ‘We’re done with all the goofy shit you have been trying to normalize the last several years.’ Hopeful this country will correct course with this opportunity…
