Political tea parties have a long and noble tradition.

I voted weeks ago, via absentee ballot from the state of California. This means, of course, that instead of voting today, I shall spend the day twiddling my fingers and worrying about how other people are voting. I shall also spend it attempting, and failing, not to think about the election until the results start coming in.

I know what to do! I shall borrow a trick from winding_path and have a virtual tea party in my journal. I've made a fresh pot of Darjeeling. The scones are warm and (don't ask how) we have real (well, virtual) clotted cream and good jam. Here, have a scone and tell me about something in your life that isn't election-related.

Edited to add: For those of us who need things besides election blogs to stare at, birdchick posted some wonderfully relaxing pictures of birds today.
