Troy has some really nice homes (while running a 5K). Apparently when he isn't playing golf, Donald Trump plays"pussy grabbing."

Deutschland on the Hudson
Last week I was lucky enough to host my Uncle and Aunt. They were touring New England in that wonderful way that tourists seem to do, but most Americans don't, visiting cities and sites scattered around multiple states and racking up more than 2500 miles on their rental car.

A table of six the other night really stood out in … Continue reading Taking my guests for a ride – cab service in Albany
