Post reblogged from the ragbag with 19 notes

my dad is a mad men

ragbag:

the steps my dad takes to send me an email:

  1. on his morning commute, he dictates his letter to me. “dear raynor comma new line i have been very busy lately comma but wanted to respond to your latest email period.”
  2. upon arriving at his office, he hands the dictation tape (it’s real magnetic tape, not a digital one) to his secretary.
  3. his secretary transcribes the dictation and then prints it out.
  4. my dad then checks the printout for typos and corrects them as needed.
  5. his secretary then incorporates the changes (and my dad proofreads as necessary), and finally sends me the email.

i have never received a text from my dad but can only imagine the machinations that would go into that.

I imagine John McCain goes through the same process.
