From the NY Times:
EVERY year, right about that time, Deena Fishman’s baffled friends start inside with the telephone calls and the questions. They all want to fathom why Mrs. Fishman and her husband, David, residents of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., don’t follow their particular ” sensible ” example and buy a condominium inside Florida.
Of course, the Fishmans’ pals have ample time to stay on the phone and express their bewilderment; they’re waiting for the plumber to show up and fix the condo’s leaky toilet, for the cable guy who was due 2 hours ago to install broadband, for the repairman to replace the torn screen on the door leading to the deck. Which, from the way, needs restaining.
