And the day begins.....

Polls opened about 45 minutes ago. In a few minutes I'll begin my long trek into the office, stopping at a number of polling places along the way. The first stop this morning will be the East Lyme Library/Community Center -- my polling place -- so that I can cast my ballot in this historic election.

Typically, it's usually pretty smooth, not much of a delay this early in the morning. However, with higher than normal projections of voters expected today, it will be interesting to see how long it takes to work my way through the lines this morning.

I'll update the blog with that information after I vote.
