Anne says that I am not a trust fund baby, but rather a trust fund septuagenarian and I thought that I was her baby. I am actually a successor trustee, which makes me a sort of hand me down. Still, there is gold to be mined in that. I need a break though. This blog needs a break. How about a political rant. What is Trump up to these days? I hope that he is not off misbehaving again.

Dan, our family’s successor torchbearer for Democratic liberalism continues to burn brightly in NYC, lighting the way for others to follow. Especially this week, with the nomination of Zohran Mamdani for mayor. His neighborhood in Queens went +69% for him. So, it was with some dismay that I read that New York Senator Kristen Gillibrand (D) has called on Mr. Mamdani to denounce the globalization of the Intifada. I know that he is Muslim, and he might have said something in the past that triggered her comment but can’t we all just get along?

The photos are from the Brooklyn Museum, which we visited earlier this year with Dan. A much nicer institution than I had expected. Maybe not as good as the Met, but not for lack of trying. It had many interesting juxtapositions of different styles of art among its displays.
