EMK RIP

Ted Kennedy died last week after a 15 month battle with brain cancer. I was really saddened by his death and had a chance to reflect back on the many times I spent weekends with him at the Cape. I won't go into all the stories here, but I would just like to memorialize that from my experience all the descriptions of him as he is being eulogized was as I knew him. A great guy, with flaws no doubt, but a lot of fun and very interesting to be around. He loved his family and was amazingly generous as a host.

I'll also say that his flaws were no greater than most people's, but for his opponents they loved to focus on those and ridicule him. Well if the last 10 years have taught us anything, it's that hypocracy always catches up with you. I think it's called Karma.
