Tonight we’re not heading to Grant Park with the throngs, we’re headed to Oak Park with thongs. Okay, it’s an unseasonably warm, clear day, and we’re taking O-themed, or Hawaiian themed, snacks to Jill’s house.

She’ll have Jon Stewart on downstairs and the radio on upstairs and we’ll feast on pot roast and nail trimmings until the results are in.

Dear God, I hope the results are in.

I’m taking my laptop and may checkin with my Second Life chums (who’ve been neglected of late), but I’ll also be watching races at the election tracker CNN.com has. You can set up 35 nationally significant races (plus selected stuff like Prop. 8) and watch the returns come in.

Yeah, downtown would be interesting. Also a big hassle. So off to Oak Park we go.
