Mr. DeSantis was such a wonderful, kind man. I got to know him when I would visit people at the Glen where he resided. He would be delighted to hear that he taught you a lesson in how to be kind even though we disagree. It's a good lesson to be learned especially in today's world. Merry Christmas!
Most everybody has a job and a personal life. And within those two worlds, there is the Venn Diagram of connections --where they overlap.
I don't know of many people who can say they never mix. To some extent, everyone has a moment when they are walking or watching a football game that they come up with a work solution.
And I am sure there are some who at work, thought of some personal solution, or called the florist at the last moment for valentine's day.
Reporters and politicians have more overlapping at most. If you are a reporter out for a walk and you run into the politician you are doing a story on and hasn't returned your calls --- you will ask questions (and not say, you are on personal time)...
And if you are a politician who represents the people (something it seems many politicians don't do much anymore cough stefanik cough).
Vincent DeSantis might be a nice guy, and a teacher... but that doesn't make him a good responsible politician.
I don't know. I don't know who he is; this is the first time I heard his name. But if you are going to be a politician, know:
• reporters work on deadlines
• you will be expected to work beyond 9-5 (unless you are Kyrsten Sinema)
Thank you for your story. I look forward to reading your Sunday stories. Best wishes for a happy holiday season.

Thanks for that article. Is The 36 hour day still available? I have a friend who is his wife's caregiver and I would like to send it to him?

I wanted to send it to a friend, too. I found the book on Amazon.
What a sweet and kind gesture from Mr. DeSantis. Actions speak louder than words. Thanks for sharing your story. Looking forward to reading more.
