Dear guy in first class talking loudly on your cell phone about last night and how you are “functionally depleted” today because of your hangover. It was great to see that you got your Republican starter kit in time for the conventions. The navy coat and Sperrys were standard issue, but the Vineyard Vines carry-on bag was a nice touch that we didn’t see coming. We were impressed from the beginning, but your use of the term “douche bag” 7 times in 10 minutes really won us over. We hope you enjoy your time in Tampa. And we hope Isaac greets you warmly.
