Frowning mightily on all audio/visual webcasting as my employer does –whenever I get even close to one my monitor instantly displays the official corporate Screaming Red Warning Scold Screen of Excessive Naughtiness–  I’m not going to be able to watch this today, but I’ll be there in spirit. 

I also want to point out, not insignificantly,  that my oldest son is there,  in the flesh, so when you’re watching the webcast today keep an eye out for the exceptionally handsome young 6’3″ Nordic man-god in the Minnesota delegation 

..and I’m not just sayin that cuz I’m his (very proud) mom.  Really.
