Happy St. Patrick's Day

At midnight tonight, unlike many, many others here and on the Mainland, I won’t be ordering up my last green beer. I’ll be quietly “aging out” of the coveted 18 – 35 year old demographic. That’s right, tomorrow morning when I awake, I will have magically transcended into the 36-45 cluster, or, gasp, is it 36 – 50?!

What happens now? Does my say in anything matter anymore? Will I ever be bothered with an exit poll again? On second thought, do they even bother with exit polls in Hawaii? Depending on the time of year, we’re 5 or 6 hours behind Eastern Standard Time and usually just a few dots within a square in the lower-left corner of the election night coverage screen in which you can barely make out if they've colored it red or blue. Since statehood 50+ years ago, I don’t think any election has hinged upon Hawaii’s voter turnout!

So I throw this question out to our friends at www.navalgazing.com – does the Wilton School have a cake design for me?
