I’m not going in to the Convention until 11am these days. I don’t go out drinking afterwards, which means I’m asleep by 1am. So why am I so beat? Ok, aside from being old, fat and out of shape, why am I so beat?

Crowds are exhausting. Trying to be alert is exhausting. Sitting in one place is exhausting. Being spoken at is exhausting. Being snarky is exhausting. Being exhausted is exhausting.

I’m thinking of covering the speeches tonight by coming home and watching them on C-SPAN. I can’t hear what the speakers are saying when I’m in the Fleet Center and there’s nothing else going on when the speeches are happening, at least as far as I can tell. So, why should I be there?
