Just an update on my whereabouts. It's around 9:30 am Friday and here I sit in the attractive SoZo java house on High Street in Morgantown, West Virginia, my lovely hometown. I mean that. It's a much nicer place than it was when I was growing up. Whoever is running this town is doing something right, except for the fact that it's about doubled in population since I lived here and they've built exactly one new major road.
Anyway, I was here for the big game last night, in which good defeated evil 34-17. No, actually, I don't mean that. Auburn isn't evil. Their fans seemed like nice folks. I imagine 'Bama fans to have more of a sense of entitlement about them. The Auburn people I spoke with were quite friendly.
So I'm going to go find a place to do a quick video, and then I'm driving back to Washington (three-plus hours), and then tonight I'm flying to Toronto. We have another Guardian/New York Review panel in Toronto on Saturday evening. I'll give you the full details when I have them. Next week will feature San Fran, Palo Alto, Portland and Seattle. Details to follow.
Best comment from an Obama voter last night, by a guy I used to play high school sports against and hadn't seen in 25 years: "How about we choose the smartest guy this time? We tried the guy you'd like to have a beer with. That didn't work out so well." Cheers.
