p.s. Still waiting for Peter to call (8:31 EST). Feeling mildly hungry now, and getting impatient. Don't feel like reading and besides I'll just get sleepi(er). Therefore continuing to stare at computer. Bah.
p.p.s. Before hitting post, got the call from Peter. Bourbon just got off the plane after travel delays. We agreed to aim for lunch tomorrow instead. Therefore I shall now head down to the hotel bar and see if I can get a small snack there.
p.p.p.s. Didn't know it until I answered the phone, but I am losing my voice. Wheee!
