I’m a crybaby

Two things have made me tear up in the past 24 hours. The first: Jeff Buckley’s Hallejuah randomly popping onto my near-battery-dead iPod over Virginia yesterday as I gazed out the windows at a cloudsky. The second: This …

The late senator’s widow, Vicki Reggie Kennedy, spent hours on Sunday at the simple white cross at Arlington National Cemetery marking where her husband was laid to rest only seven months ago. Ted Kennedy’s youngest son, Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.), visited on Monday morning and left a hand-written note that read: “Dad, the unfinished business is done.”

In fact, I’m welling up after reading that last line again, so I’m’a log off now.
