I can't decide if I should purchase Ben & Jerry's for tomorrow night (assumes I watch the results coming in) or a bottle of really good wine (assumes that I spend the evening with Jon Stewart.)
Election Night 1992: the dining hall served brocoli at supper. Most of my table went back for thirds. Went back to my room, blocked out and drafted a paper on Paradise Lost. Spent two hours at a fantastic "watch the results party" which included a keg of Corona in the bathroom. Raised a toast to the results, and had the first four pages of the paper written before bed at 1:30 AM.
Election Night 2000: I proctered an exam. Most of my students assured me that they had voted. One or two had even voted absentee for Florida. At 4 AM I reconciled myself to the fact that "staying awake until the bitter end" was probably not a possibility.
Here's wishing all of us a good night's sleep tomorrow.
Words Written: six hundred and ninety-eight (ouch!)
Lessons Graded: three (the complaints have started)

Why not both? Make a good wine float and watch the Harvey Birdman marathon on Cartoon Network :o).
Lots of alcohol will be required for this one...
