Today will be a little different than normal posts.

Although it is not 'custom' for me to eXpress myself 
here other than in poetry,

I thought today needed just a little more 
eXplanation than any other day.

Today is election day in Iceland, 
so it is truly double X day for me.

And because there are very few (non medical ) X words in the dictionary

I decided to give me a little break and just 
pick words with X as a second letter.

If you think that is outrageous..

well, then you are just gonna have to keep thinking that!

I hope you enjoy todays post.
