skyping

practiced in the afternoon
sounded fine
clear as a bell

worked on the Office rewrite
after 5 when it was
quiet

got some dinner at the
Independent
chowder and a wrap

back by 7:30
call at 8 pm
8 am in Taiwan

sound okay at first
but soon a horrible
malevolent booming echo

put everyone else on mute
delivered my presentation
to dead silence
