Hey,

If I asked really, really nicely would you possibly call and tell your father to cease and dissist with the lectures for the rest of the trip? Because he started 5 minutes after take off and an hour later I finally get to go sleep sitting up.

Talk to you later.

P.S.-There's something I want to tell you (I've been meaning to for days but kept getting sidetracked), but God knows with the rumor mill that is the White House, you've probably already heard. It's not bad if you don't know, but if you do, don't think I wasn't going to tell you and instead let you just find out.--Ok my sleep deprivation has led to rambling.
