  • Headed home slightly early for the debate. Will also try to get podcast out. But SO tired. May just fall asleep. :-) 23:02:18
  • Plans to rush podcast out the door before debate being foiled by slow malfunctioning iMac. :-( 23:36:15
  • No longer enough time to do podcast stuff before debate. It will be another one of those released after hopelessly out of date podcasts. 23:42:36
  • So I’ll ignore the malfunctioning iMac for now, and go sit in the comfy chair with a news station on the projector. Woo! 23:43:37
  • If I’m lucky, I’ll still be awake when the debate starts, rather than fast asleep in the chair. 23:44:04
