I doofed up last night and didn't watch the address till this morning. Frankly, I find myself hitting the rewind button sometimes because I get distracted by thoughts like "Wow, it is nice to be proud of my president, he's intelligent, thoughtful, and oh wow, wouldja look at that, his beautiful wife just got a standing ovation...shit! what was he saying?"
