15. I know, no offense taken

I am in New York at the very least once a year. I have work there in January. Plus, my elder daughter, born and grew up here in the German Rheinland now lives there as well. She always loved visiting my maternal grandfather, who lived there all his life. He lived to be 102. She couldn't wait to get back there, and spent the last 2 years of her college education there. She looked for a job, lived in a horrible apartment for way too much money. She didn't care. "I'm home!" she said. And so she still is.

My dad's father was from Charleston, SC, got into Harvard before World War I and worked his way through as a janitor. I still have a photo of FDR on my wall, inscribed to him "from his friend, Franklin Roosevelt." He settled in New York, and apparently made the right kind of friends!

Not Trump's kind of friends. Well, that is a relative expression in Trump's case, as he doesn't really have friends, just people who are useful to him.
