Again, there were many, many things that happened at that school board meeting, and I can tell you that I was very much interested in what was being said. And so I pretty well made sure, at the beginning of that meeting, which went on for quite a long time, that I wouldn't miss anything, so I took care of my bathroom needs beforehand.
Many things happened at the school board meeting that took a long time.
While it was stated many thing happened at the meeting, to suggest many things took a long time would be an assumption with no factual evidence.
