Presidents and Kings

  I got my ABSENTEE BALLOT!!!!! It looks so official and I'm excited to vote (even if, as some say, it won't count). I was worried it was taking too long, but it's here! In addition to President there are some important questions on the Massachusetts ballot. One is about income taxes and one is about reducing penalties for possession of marijuana. I love MA. 

The King! My friends Claire, Anna, and Bethany were sitting on a bench in the Prado museum and the King of Spain walked by them, surrounded by a whole security detail. I missed Juan Carlos by a minute or two. The reason he was at the Prado is that there is a new Rembrandt exhibit opening today. I guess as royalty, he gets to preview it first. 

I found a candy store with chocolate covered raisins. All is right with the world.
