Do you have a second home or apartment?

Authors always seem to have two ("he lives in New York and San Francisco....") Does someone look in on it or do you just lock the doors and hope for the best.

• "he lives in New York and San Francisco...." Translated: "He shares a scrungy 4-bedroom in the Outer Mission and takes JetBlu to Schenectady for the holidays with his parents."

• I have a place on Cape Cod that I rent out June - September. But I use off season.

• My father and his wife have a lake house. Does that count? he does share.

• I have a house I live in, an apartment I used to live in but now rent out and a 3 room shack/hut in a quiet spot near a beach but also close to mountains. Not anywhere expensive or exclusive, just quiet and nice to go to for a few days. It's never been broken into, probably because it would cost burglars more in gas money than they could make by stealing my 50 year old furniture and odd assortment of plates and cooking utensils. It sounds like I'm relatively wealthy but not really. The house I share a mortgage, the apartment was cheap when I bought it and paid off long ago and the hut was inherited.

• David Sedaris has at least three: Manhattan, France, and London. He says when he finds a cashmere sweater he really likes, he buys three of it so he can always have one at hand in whichever of his three homes he's in.

• R8, that's so obnoxious, does he also contribute to goop.com?

• ...which is why any sensible person should despise the nasal-whiney Sedaris for his undue wealth from writing inane toilet reading.
