They fully expected us to be watching the live convention coverage and were surprised when we told them we had, in fact, been catching an episode of Dexter before hitting the sack. What I found interesting was that it did not even occur to us that we might miss something because we were not watching it live. We assumed (correctly) that anything worth seeing would be available at our convenience, not the convenience of the content providers. There was no gee-whiz about it. We watched the speech in bed on my laptop and went to sleep. We got a phone call last night from friends in Boston who were feeling good after Obama’s acceptance speech.
