Eight years ago I celebrated
Election Day in Switzerland with an Election Day party. It was an
exciting time to be American with two strong candidates and the possibility of
meaningful change in the country. It was like Christmas Eve, full of
anticipation and hope.
What a difference 8 years can make.
Instead of Christmas Eve, the upcoming election this Tuesday feels more like
the night before a colonoscopy: I am looking forward to it being over and am
dreading the potentially bad results. There is no reason to celebrate this
Tuesday; instead I plan to watch the results at home by myself in sweatpants
and on the couch. With wine, and possibly tequila depending on how things are
looking.
Our future is in our hands... Let's
just hope we don't mess it up.
