In a Coeur d'Alene Press story, Maureen Dolan reports that Ken Howard slept well Election Night, although he went to bed not knowing the outcome of his North Idaho College trustee race with Ron Nilson. Howard, according to the story, "was in bed before midnight, when his opponent Ron Nilson still had a slight edge." Quoth: "I've waited for too many juries to come in," laughed Howard, a longtime Coeur d'Alene trial attorney. I didn't get to bed until 2 hours later. Mebbe Howard slept well because he read this comment of mine at 11:46 p.m. Election Night: "Nilson's in trouble. The absentees should have put him over the top b/c they tend to be heavy Republican. Which would favor Nilson. Howard has erased most of that deficit — and should continue to gain ground."

Question: Can you sleep easy when big decisions, outcomes, or events are waiting for you in the morning?
