    AmeriNZ 398 – 17 and 28

    AmeriNZ 398 – 17 and 28

    Today’s episode is named after two anniversaries: Today is the seventeenth anniversary of my blog, and yesterday was the 28th anniversary of when I first arrived in New Zealand as a tourist, when Nigel and I met in person for the first time. This coming weekend is also the final Pride 48 Live Streaming Event, and I reminisce and opine about podcasting. Then, I briefly talk about a small project outside. Finally, I share a funny (to me) story form New Zealand’s news.

    FOUR DAYS in a row with sunshine!!! However will I cope? Well, I mowed the lawns, for one thing. That led to a problem, and I discovered something I need to repair.
