I read this in the NYT article on Teddy and it seemed a perfect summation:
He was a Rabelaisian figure in the Senate and in life, instantly recognizable by his shock of white hair, his florid, oversize face, his booming Boston brogue, his powerful but pained stride. He was a celebrity, sometimes a self-parody, a hearty friend, an implacable foe, a man of large faith and large flaws, a melancholy character who persevered, drank deeply and sang loudly. He was a Kennedy.
So, I finally got to sleep. Then I was woken up by a phone call at 8:10.
I think it's good form to make a visible attempt to try to quiet a child in that case, though it often doesn't work anyway. But you can't look nonchalant while making everybody else suffer.
So VERY much this. Even if you know it's futile and that your kid isn't a good traveller, you have to at least look like you're trying to help, as a goodwill gesture towards your fellow passengers. Or break out the Benedryl.
Aims,
I graciously accept your above proposal. I shall languish here in my silk jammies, awaiting your return and the lavishment to commence immediately after.
Hee hee hee.

Good plan, wear something loose with high tensile strength with which to throttle you.

Why don't you hold your breath while you wait? It will make it that much more delicious when I get home.
Next week.
Not in the least. It makes sense for me to remain logged in considering it's *MY* computer. You are very cute.
Owen dropped my phone in the toilet. He said he was "taking pictures underwater."
FUCK.
I wanted a new phone but not today. Took the battery out and am trying to dry it out. I hope I can recover some of my data off of it.

I hear Jacques Cousteau started with toilets too.
