I must have gotten 10 invitations to all that stuff, but I still have my day job, and I'm now back on station in Europe.

To all who are attending, have a great time!

I'll be happy to watch it all on the tv machine. I could never handle being in the huge crowds expected in DC. Too claustrophobic.

Plus, I always wonder where I'd go if I needed to pee.

Exactly! At least in watching it from home, I know where the bathroom is and I don't have to crawl over thousands of people to get to it!
