http://archive. scripting. com/2004/07/29#When:11: (Jul 30 2004 03:50 GMT) - As Dowbrigade reported, the net access from the blogger battalion on the seventh floor was pretty bad, so I went to dinner with Nico who I know from the Dean campaign, and then watched the speeches back at my hotel. I was less glued to the keyboard, and nodding out at times. It's been an exhausting week and it finally caught up with me. A few notes before signing off for the day... |
