Bill Clinton is in town

Arriving in the early hours of the morning after flying in from Australia, Former US President Bill Clinton is in New Zealand for his 3rd visit. I haven't seen him this time around but I did see him from a distance on his first visit in 99 for the APEC conference as he was staying at the Stamford hotel which is pretty much just across/down the road from my apartment. But on his second trip I got much much closer when he was visiting a local retail clothing store and it was more-or-less down to meters. He is I believe travelling around speaking at particular functions events where prominent business leaders are paying $2400.00 for a seat to hear the southern accent.
Personally that's alittle above my pocket, but the opportunity cost is I spend that time with my daughter feeding her dinner, going for a walk and now just having put her to bed, well more like 1/2 an hour ago.
As friday nights viewing is less than eventful it was broken with Donne, Leighann, Lauren and Mandy dropping by as they are spending the night doing a scramble treasure hunt for an Auckland radio station, we were able to help a little but the rest is up too them.
