NOTAMS have been published for a November 20th launch;
http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_6_0206.html
http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_6_0215.html
does this mean the launch is delayed?
Here's my educated GUESS.  NSFer's in-the-know, please correct me if I'm wrong:

The window on the 19th is 1 hour long.
One hour window is due to the FAA’s Holiday Airspace Release Program constraints.
The window on the 20th is 2 hours long.

The difference in airspace closure durations on consecutive dates may require a separate NOTAM.

Minor problem with the pad, but it seems rollout is complete/resolved as we are now driving towards the pad for a tour of the rocket

Pre-launch audio is streaming on SFN...

T-2 hours and holding (count stands at L-2 hours, 30 minutes and counting). This is a planned 15-minute built-in hold to ensure a unanimous GO for fueling.
