I remember when I turned on the TV a quarter century ago tonight and saw all those people celebrating on the Wall. It was one of the happiest moments of my life, the first time Id ever wept happy tears. Seven years earlier, Id lived and studied in Berlin. Id crossed that evil wall a hundred times. Id been strip-searched by the GDR border police two times at the Friedrichstrasse checkpoint. Most of my old friends were Ossies. Eventually, I retired early, sold my Miami hause, and moved back to my favorite city. After 7 years, I became a permanent legal resident and maybe Ill become a citizen in another year or two. I love living here, plus the fact the Brandenburg Gate is just down the street from me.
