I will have a good deal of commentary about the lack of a decision later today, and in the meantime, let the punditry, the speculating and the prognosticating continue.

One advantage of living in California is the time zone. I slept well last night thinking that when I awoke at 7 a.m., Booker/Fanfan would be waiting for me. Argh!
