As a first generation American, the son of refugees from Hitler’s Germany, it is a disturbing and tragic irony.
“It is clear that the Americans, at least this part of the Americans, this administration, are largely indifferent to the fate of Europe.” - Frederick Merz Germany's chancellor-in-waiting

Benjamin needs a forever home. He’s small (about 7 kilos), super sweet, spins around in circles when he’s excited, loves to fetch his squeeky ball or sit in your lap for hours. Our local rescue org can help arrange his travel to the EU or US / Canada.

We’ve been looking out for Bobby on behalf of a local dog rescue, but due to our frequent air-travel we can’t adopt him. He needs a forever home. Bobby is super smart, very affectionate, cuddly, devoted, loves to fetch, doesn’t shed, and deserves a good life. We can help arrange travel to EU or US.

Our new NYC pad is now fully padded, and I love watching the city from our top floor perch. As a native New Yorker, owning an apartment in my home town seemed impractical and out of reach. It took awhile to get back. Better late than never.

I am a sucker for renovations. We’re building a new wall to turn the studio apartment’s sleeping alcove into a small bedroom.

Like millions who joined BlueSky out of curiosity this week, I’m not yet clear what it does. Is it just a Blue version of MAGA X? Will enough of my friends join to make belonging valuable? How do you follow Fb friends on Bsky when we’ve all created new Bsky accounts using obscure cockamamie handles?
