Whether you think Bush stole the election in 2000 or you're sitting there wondering how Obama could possibly beat your hero McCain, Election Day anxiety is at peak performance right now. Before you sit down to watch CNN's John King work the red vs. blue Magic Map, take 2:50 for your sanity.

In this video, Tara Stiles offers up a few yoga breathing techniques to lower your heart rate and help avoid total freakout as tonight's results pour in. A big cheer if you exercised your right to vote, and whatever the outcome, get up early and exercise tomorrow to relieve some stress.

Bev,

As a reminder, you and I met at George's Hood's successful bike ride in May of this year. he was trying to regain his world record in spin cycling at the YMCA in Naperville.

My second novel was published in August. "The Call of Angels" is the long-anticipated sequel to my first novel. It pertains to the main character, Robert Hamlin, who is a young man from the suburbs of Chicago who is elected President of the U.S.

The main theme of the book pertains to educating people on the symptoms and severity of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). This is when a blood clot forms in the deep vein of the leg. Complications from blood clots kill more than 200,000 Americans each year.

I am available to discuss this issue at my e-mail address at jamestdurkin@hotmail.com
