Last night I was happy to get together with a group of friends and watch the election results roll in. The last time I stayed up this late on a Tuesday, I was in fourth grade trying to finish a project for the science fair.

Though my friend group approaches political homogeneity, I think about everyone in my family has a different  opinion on how politics should go. Fortunately, we are good at disagreeing peacefully. This is how the system works. And it works best when hors d’oeuvres and uncle sam hats are involved.

Whomever you voted for, good job. I’m glad your opinion is in the mix.
