And so we do. Of course, to you, we're already in "another country."

If we suddenly had an extra gazillion, maybe we'd buy a small apartment in New York City, since one of our daughters lives there, as does a cousin and my sister. But maybe not. We just don't see putting up with the paperwork of maintaining a residence where we don't reside. Let the McCains and the Romneys of the world have that headache.

*as for Paris--I have to run down there once a week for work anyway. I don't need to put up with the French bureaucracy any more than I do now.
