New word coming soon ...

My not voting was my own fault. I mentally combined the 7 pm deadline in my home time zone with the Saturday date in "parts of Oz," where I happen to be at the moment. I console myself with the knowledge that, had I voted, I would never have voted for #1 anyhow!

Why do these things always happen to me when I'm out of town? I can't even ask John to take the deal he owes me because he just dealt, and two in a row would be unfair.
