Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
-- Billy Joel
Recent election of a new mayor for New York City: voters selected Zohran Mamdani. He begins the job in January.
He has promised to address the issue of New York City being unaffordable to live in.
The young voters like him.
His opponent was Andrew Cuomo, former governor of New York state. (When I think of Andrew Cuomo or his brother Chris Cuomo who has been a news-reader on TV, my thoughts always lead to their dad, Mario Cuomo, who was the governor of New York for three terms, 1983 - 1994.)
The grandson of President John Kennedy, Jack Schlossberg, is running for the U.S. House of Representatives.
And - back to Andrew Cuomo - from 1990 to 2005 he was married to Kerry Kennedy, who is a sister of Robert Kennedy Jr., who is currently Secretary of Health and Human Services.
(Four days ago, a post on social media showed Robert Kennedy Jr. and his current wife with Dwight Yoakam and it said they're having a "night of hillbilly music."
Three days ago, a post on a different platform shows the same photograph and it says they're having "a night of country music.")
