Throughout the hectic 78 day election campaign, there were days that Larry Miller had to stop into his quiet downtown office to catch up with constituency business.

"As we begin," the Tai Chi instructor says, "stand with your feet parallel, shoulder width apart. Make sure your weight is centered."
At this moment, I realize how hard it is to stand. There are so many angles for the rest of the body even with both feet on the ground. My weight is more to the right or the left, and I have to move my hips sideways to find the centre. Then, I find that my weight is back on my heels, or forward on my toes not the centre of the foot.
