Then: writer, editor, cofounder of a residency for writers and artists. Now: flaneur in my native San Francisco, to which I returned in 2021 after many years elsewhere. Widower, father of three, unexpectedly found love again. Luckiest man who ever lived.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
