As I was driving home, I stared at the full moon rising over the eastern sky and contemplated the coming Winter, ballot questions, and football.
Since moving to the Boston area, I realized I have learned more about football than I have ever wanted. Why? Boston is a sports lovers' paradise. This town is drenched in sports tradition. You can't help but learn about hockey, football, basketball, and, my own life love, baseball at a college, high school, and primary school level. Sports is every where.
I was surprised to learn I admire Peyton Manning; one of the few quarterbacks in the NFL who can call his own plays- not something Brady does. I would never know the man's name if the Pats did not have a pre-game and post game in-depth analysis every week. (On Sunday, the Pats lost to the Colts, Manning's team, 27-20.)
The ballot questions for today's election?
Question 1: Should stores that sell food to be eaten elsewhere be allowed to sell wine? (Right now only liquor stores can sell any alcohol which will be consumed elsewhere.)
Question one has sparked much controversy and way too many ad campaigns for and against. What surprises me is neither side has offered up one fact or semi-truth to support their case.
My question, aside from my opinion, remained unanswered from the pundits: What are the socio-economic repercussions from answering yes or no?
Anyhow the moon was my solace and winter inevitable.

Tuesday was a very good day for me ... this nation definitely needs a new direction.
I say yes to Question 1!! I love to buy food and wine for picnics in Central Park!!
It was a shock to me that the grocery stores in PA did not sell alcohol like the ones in WV did. Go ahead. Make the joke. I'm waiting. :)
Oh, and I say yes to the question and Peyton Manning is one of my favorite quarterbacks as well.
