Health and voting
Nov. 5th, 2002 06:47 pmI had an appointment with the nurse practitioner this evening. She's great. I was reminded of this as she was asking questions. Married? no. Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Just the order of those made me happy to be a patient there.
The verdict: I need to lose weight (not a surprise).
First line of attack: 20 minutes of concentrated activity/day (walking, biking, whatever), and cut down on some foods (no surprise there either).
After finishing at that hospital, down the street to the next hospital, which is my polling place. The new innovation this time was the big white privacy folders to put ballots in when done, so no one could see what was voted before it got put in the machine. This year I could have made my vote count more than usual: the lady gave me two ballots. Gave it back, but wondered about the security of the elections...
