Breathe deeply---in-ha-a-le---ex-ha-a-le! The sky isn't even close to falling.

We don't KNOW much of anything yet. We may see the sun rise before we feel like we do. It's going to be a long night and making ourselves sick with worry won't add a single vote to our totals.

I think we will win and win handily, but that win will require counting ALL of the votes.

Take care of yourselves. We need you.

Until 8 pm PT. I can’t take any more stress. Unfortunately, my family on the East Coast keep texting me whatever they are seeing on MSNBC 😣

I am a huge baseball fan. With 162 games a year, it’s a marathon and not a race. Same here only with a much, much shorter season.

I need to chill out. But to be honest....I won’t be sleeping much tonight.

Boy do I need that. I’m trying hard to continue to believe there’s a chance. This is life or death for people my age.
