Talcott Parsons

As I recall, I used to have a lot more followers.

Did I miss anything? Where is registration? #ASA13

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

All right, now I actually am in Denver fir #ASA2012 and I have a clean pair of trousers. Let’s forget about the drinks thing with Shils.

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

I think I may not actually be in Denver. I’m beginning to doubt the person who said he was Ed Shils. Does Denver have a seafront? #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

I … just woke up. I am fairly sure this is not my hotel room. It may not even be a hotel. #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

I really shouldn’t, but Ed makes a strong case for a pre-dinner cocktail. #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

I have finally arrived in Denver for #ASA2012. I am a little tired after United Airlines, but Ed Shils has insisted I join him for a drink.

@calvinhyj I thought those were paper titles for the Sexualities conference.

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

My past 24 hrs with United has forced me to reconsider my views on functional differentiation and integration in complex societies #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

@ASAnews I trust my room is ready as usual. Call my office in Cambridge if there have been any changes. #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

@C_Wright_Mills I'm beginning to see why you travel everywhere by motorbike. This United flight is an appalling indictment of capitalism.

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

Good Lord, it's like a cattle truck in here. What in blue blazes has happened to air travel? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO MEAL? #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

These Stewardesses are a lot surlier than they used to be. #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

I expect they will let me out of this room in time to board my flight. And they should really return my clothes, too. #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

The security guard seemed not to know who I was, and tried to make me go through some infernal x-ray television! I told him off. #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

No Pan-Am desk. No TWA, either. I bought a ticket on United Airlines instead. Well, how bad can they be, really? #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

@WITWhat I'm not sure I take your meaning. Are you the new secretary? #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

Logan seems larger than I remembered, and I am having trouble locating the Pan-Am check-in desk. #ASA2012

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

On my way to Logan. I admit I have not traveled in quite some time but I expect Pan-American to convey me to #ASA2012 in comfort and style.

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

Off to Denver for #ASA2012. So nice to travel the modern, civilized, respectable, and eufunctional way—on Pan American Airlines.

[Talcott Parsons @talcottparsons]

@noahgrand What do you mean, "ironically"? #ASA2012
