Good News and Bad News.

The good news: An old college/DC friend of mine, currently busy on the other end of the 16th St. strip, has hooked me up with a pair of swanky passes to tonight's speech at Invesco Field. So, assuming the crowds aren't a total nightmare, I'll be able to take in my second Obama speech of the fortnight this evening.

The bad news: While traversing the 16th St. drag to pick up said tickets, my bag opened up of its own accord, and I seem to have lost my laptop cords...meaning I'm now blogging on borrowed (battery) time, and it'll be next to impossible to update around here once the juice runs out. (There is an Office Depot a few blocks away, where I'll try to score an emergency replacement.) Update: Belay all that: Apparently, I'd just left my cord here -- I found it under the table. (Must be living right today.)
