About this Blogger

Am retired. With my wife Josée I Iive in Tampa, and go often to Paris. There’s not yet a bridge between the two cities and to go back and forth we fly, in the dead of night on the way over, and in the light of early and late afternoon on the way back. Tampa, I believe, is America, the best and the worst of it, mostly the best. And Paris, well, Paris is Paris, not yet a museum, but almost.

How did I ever get tied up with you and Platinga???
Both of you maks me feel like Sancho Panza! I should have gone to Notre Dame, married an Italian girl who knows how to make a great pizza, then I would have had 6’6” grandsons(the other one is of normal height at the Univ. Arizona) who play football instead of what I have: 6-6 grandsons who major in math and computer science at USC Berkly and Ohio State , and a 6-3 grand daughter who majored in English at Harvard. She now lives in Hungary…Sadly, I now have decided to sell my beloved 28′ Grady White fishing yacht. PS You both look great!
