I will not lie. I am nervous about Tuesday.

I feel like whatever happens there it will become the emblem of momentum for one side or the other.

I'm terrified.

And either way, it will make the bigots more active.

And I'm not ready yet.

I believe my icon says it all.

Note to self: buy some almond-stuffed queen olives.

Didn't know they came in almond flavour, but yes, drinkies is a good idea.

I actually prefer the almond ones because they have a less intense flavor than pimento, which lets both the olive and the martini stand on their own.

Drinks designed for emergencies must be planned carefully.

(Speaking of plans, I will also need to make ice...)

I'm terrified, too.

You're not alone in this.

As witness the Google ads at the end of that first CNN article: "Act to End Traditional Marriage" and "Is Same-Sex Marriage a Sin?" were the headlines on two of them.

If wee win, we have to worry about bigots. If we lose we have to worry about bigots. Winning's better.
