We’ve been cold and had colds—not fun. But today I begin with a little update on what we’ve been up to, including some technological stuff (yeah, it surprises me, too). I move on to phone messages that allow me to comment further. Then to wrap up this episode, I pay tribute to my friend, known on this podcast as Lord Byron of Illinois, who died June 10. I talk a bit, too, about online friendships being real friendships—because I think they are. And that includes all of you who I know only through this podcast, by the way.

My first topic today is a blog post of an expat American who’s leaving New Zealand. I see it as a cautionary tale, so I go over my 3 “rules” for being an expat. In other words, I give you my advice about being an expat—including a couple things I shouldn’t have done. Some election news is in the middle. Then, an email provides me a topic: Expats voting in their home country. Should they? Which elections? Comments on the site round out the episode, as usual.
I have both New Zealand updates AND a short topic today. Not only that, it’s my second podcast this week! I can’t remember the last time I did that. After NZ news (including an update), it’s on to today’s short topic: There are some unusual things I miss about the US, and today’s show art shows one (thanks for the photo, Lord Byron of Illinois!). I talk about that and a few other random things—not the sort of things that most people think about. Comments let me further comment on an earlier topic.
