He transcribes his notes from the day, including a list of employees' commitments and requests to send to his client in the morning. Just before climbing into bed, Hirsch checks email and an online improvisation newsgroup. It's a small, almost incestuous group, and tonight there's been mention of a workshop Hirsch had recently conducted in Texas.
