Well, how did it go in the end? And are you feeling better. Upward facing dog does a good job of helping to clear out the sinuses, too.

Mike, Rick, Mandy:

Thanks for your interest and kind notice. I inhaled steam, drank lemon w/hot H2O, took long steamy shower--pounded 3 shots of espresso (my usual)--and gutted it out. Somehow it worked. I've done about 6 more tv voice overs for this client, including their holiday message (!) Since that panicky morning, I've tried Throat Coat tea (thanks for the article Rick), and it seems to help. My cold morphed into bronchitis, but I'm better now. And Mandy, even if upward facing dog doesn't help, it and just about every inversion pose make me feel better, if yoga can be considered a proactive deal. I think it all works together.

Peace,

John
