You’ve got more important things to do today than read a long, windy blog. Like vote and get in some exercise — which you can likely do at the same time.

I just got back from fulfilling both my obligation as a member of the greatest democracy mankind has known, and my obligation to my body. Walked about a mile to my polling place, voted, walked another half mile to Starbucks where I celebrated the privilege of being part of the greatest democracy mankind has known with a little caffeine, walked a mile and a half home. Fulfilled my duty as a citizen, did my heart and assorted other body parts good in the process. And, a caffeinated beverage. Is this a great country or what?

Today, vote with your brain, your heart and your legs.
