And...

I apologize for the awkwardness tonight, folks.  It looks like I'll be stuck in the bowels of the Capitol until after midnight.

Sorry I could not engage with you more intensely tonight.

Let's call it quits.  I'll ask you all to read the responses of all your classmates before you shut-r-down.

I'll send your assignments for next week tomorrow.

Our meeting next week will be virtual again.
