On November 4th, Noah succeeded twice in doing something that his mother had done only once and his father not at all: push the green VOTE button for a winning presidential candidate.
At 10:30am the poll workers at Shiloh Baptist Church cooed, "He wasn't here with you last time!" and signed us in on line 156. "Usually we don't reach this number until three or four o'clock," one of them smiled.
He passed through the blue curtain a second time with Liz in the afternoon, exerting his moderating influence to cancel out dad's YES vote on city ballot initiative number four. Wise correction.
Then, showing the same knack for timing that allowed his parents watch the NCAA championship the night he was born, he didn't stir in his crib until Barack Obama had finished his victory speech. How can you not love this boy?
