I was glued to my set for much of the time. I can’t stand to turn on the Senate proceedings. I just get the Readers Digest version each night from news or late night TV.

edit:

Key GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander, a swing vote, told CNN he's going to announce his decision on witnesses tonight, a decision that will make clear whether the Senate trial will come to a swift conclusion or if it will lead to an unpredictable phase over witnesses and documents.

"I'm going to make my decision after the last question tonight," Alexander said.
Asked if he would announce it tonight, he said, "Yes."
