A New Voter Enters the Fray
2007 September 24
My little brother Mathgeek turns 18 today, and I welcome him into adulthood (legal, at least): he now has the ability to purchase cigarettes (please don’t, M) and vote. IP suggests that you move to Idaho, Mathgeek, so that your vote in 2008 will make a difference. ;)
Oh, can you believe it was 18 years ago today that I was running all over San Isidro looking for diapers (all the stores were out, for some reason)? Can you believe he’ll be headed to college next year? I doubt it’ll be in Idaho, though, as MIT would be fools not to snatch you up, kiddo. :)
Happy birthday, Mathgeek!

Happy birthday, Mathgeek…even if you are likely to move to some bastion of liberalism next year and your vote may not be as meaningful as you’d like.
What other benefits come with turning 18 these days? (it’s hard to think of any)
Oh, now that you’re 18 you can die for our country. What an honor!
WordNerd, the image of you dashing from store to store looking for diapers for Mathgeek to soil is hilarious.
So this is late, but I want to say thank you all.
