killing time before the debate

6:18:26 PM
Okay, so I’m going to level with y’all, since our relationship is, after all, based on trust: I am not *technically* on the battlefield at the moment. What with yesterday’s three hour stint standing on the edge of that flowerbed, and the fact that the English debate doesn’t start until 9pm, I figured that I’d be justified in waiting a little bit longer before heading into the heart of the placard-waving mob. I’m close by, mind you – at the corner of Sparks and Elgin – and keeping a watchful eye from afar.
