If you're suffering election fatigue, you know you are not alone.  Let's join forces to banish the demons and chase away the nightmares that haunt us as the outcome hangs by whatever tenuous thread is currently stretched almost to its limit. We need a break from the punditry, the suspense, the anxiety, the frustration, the anger, the sadness - you name it, we've probably all experienced it.
 
We're making this one a sack lunch instead of a coffee chat to try out a new time.  We'll set up some ground rules to make sure we don't descend into darkness or argument. Put your suggestions for staying positive in the Comment space when you register.
 
To help you prepare yourself for whatever lies ahead, here's a blog post from a mental health counselor at Seattle Jewish Family Services:

There's lots more if you enjoy this sort of thing!
