I’m not generally very into poetry, but something about this poem by W.B. Yeats really touched me.
The Stolen Child

Here’s Kyle in his full desert commando/StarWars Halloween get up. I think this is the last year he’ll be into superhero costumes. He told me that next year he needs to be something “much more scary”.

So I did my duty as a US citizen yesterday and voted. I was expecting a long line like the one in Kearny Mesa that was 2 hours deep, but being that Rancho Bernardo is home to a lot of retirees, I’m guessing most of those people voted during the day, so there was no line [...]
