We are lucky in this country that woman can vote and run for office, some countries aren't so lucky.

Sometimes I ask my husband about his opinions on people or props, or I may not vote if I don't feel well enough versed in a proper.

Our Democratic Republic allows for change, for which I am grateful. I traveled to Cuba in December, just because Americans now could travel there easier than before. The difference between communism and our free society is staggeringly obvious standing in the center of Havana. Yes, there are elections where only those in the select ruling government vote. The Castro regime will end in April when they 'elect' a new leader. <br /><br />I remember the time before Castro came to power. There are now generations of Cubans who have only known communism under Castro. Fidel Castro was uber-communist (more communist than Khrushchev). Raol, not so much. Who knows what the next leader will be. At least, as an American, I have a vote to pick who I would like to be the leader of the US.

But with eight children it made it harder for me to actually work the voting booth.

So exciting!<br /><br />As for rebounds - A NY agent was told me the only thing he liked about my novel manuscript was the title. After which I swore-off writing...for two weeks. That rejection made me revise with a vengeance. And helped me, I think, eventually find a publisher.

My trouble is sticking with what I’ve chosen all the way to completion, which is worse. For instance, I started writing a book months ago and decided I would not have the time to invest to finish it, but I can’t stop thinking about getting back to it. ) :Laurie Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251033150576051700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-90731322953129851182017-11-11T17:47:22.253-05:002017-11-11T17:47:22.253-05:00Thanks, Laurie.

It's also a great antidote to the crazy bigness of Bouchercon only a few weeks later. Lastly, it's a great excuse to indulge myself in a Veterans Day weekend road trip from Long Island.
