Despite feeling like shit and sleeping most of the day, I got my sorry ass out of bed, took a shower and went to vote. (Compared to what folks went through to even allow us the right to vote, it was the least I could do.) All the usual suspects were out and about, including some friends. Usually I’m among the faithful around city hall but with a growing family and a tight schedule I ended up sitting this one out mostly.

Congrats to Michelle for making her way on to the Kyle City Council. She’s fought long and hard to make her way there and it’s a win not just for her, but for the council and for the city as a whole. We’ve come a very long way in a very short time and it’s nice to see the council grow to include some very smart and dedicated individuals.
