There are certain things in life you never forget. Your first kiss...your wedding...that time you fought a reporter on Twitter because he called out your boss's stance on gun violence prevention...the birth of your first child. Wait, what?
Read from the bottom up to see the entire story. I did my best to include every tweet, though there are certainly a lot of them, so if I missed one or two, I hope it doesn't take away from this legendary tale. It all began four days ago with a tweet from Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr about his upcoming education summit. And ends with Diaz's communications director, John Desio saying he likes Dunkin' Donuts. What a wild ride.
By the way, if anyone involved would like to comment, tweet @mchugh. I'll offer you 140 characters.
UPDATE: It's already been pointed out that I had a mistake in the timeline--I've corrected it. Like I said, there are a lot of tweets, so bear with me!
UPDATE 2: Borrero informed me, via Twitter, that he is not a reporter for NY1. "I'm a Political Commentator not reporter 4 NY1&NY1Noticias. Columnist 4 @eldiariony & PMdrive @am970theapple". Thus the slight headline change. My bad!

You got $3 million for a castle? Yeah, me neither
Ah, Fieldston. Home to the elegant, historic and beautiful mansions that none of us plebs will ever have the chance to live in.
Recently, a handful of Fieldston's super-houses that were put up for sale/rent made city-wide and even national news (Like the one that rents for $20,000 a month one block away). This is another one of those stories.
Here's a Wall Street Journal article about a house that was modeled to look like a Castle from Croatia.
Do yourself a favor and look through the slideshow. This house looks like the fantasy of every 5-year-old child who wishes he was a knight in shining armor or she was the princess who needed rescuing.
The article says the owners, Alec Diacou and Suzi Arensberg, bought the house in 2004 for $1.8 million, then put in $1.5 million in renovations over 2 1/2 years, and are now selling it for $2.995 million.
