I had the plan quite carefully laid. I needed to have a meeting this morning that meant I couldn’t make it to Calvin for the January Series today, so I ensured the meeting was scheduled with plenty of time for me to listen in online, and enacted at Kava House so there would be WiFi at hand. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a clear stream. I quickly gave up. If the talk is archived, I’ll try and listen in and continue my commentary.

Also. since several people have asked, I didn’t watch/listen to the inauguration today. I did, however enjoy Colin’s report that Channel 4 News had a French MP on who riposted: “We in Europe watch with a small smile, because we know you cannot spread freedom like you spread perfume.”
