Let the 2018 asking begin

It’s once again time for my annual “Ask Arthur” series of posts, beloved by many and hated by a few (or, the other way around…), something I’ve been doing every December since 2012 (plus two July series). Last year, I asked for questions the end of November so that I could begin the answers earlier and spread them out a bit more. The idea was good, even if it didn’t change the timeframe too much. So this year, I’m beginning the asking ten days earlier than last year, and though I still plan on beginning the answering in at the start of December, I’m hoping this time it’ll actually happen.

This series of posts is a chance for people to ask me nearly anything, and I’ll try to answer whatever I’m asked. I have no particular topics that are “off limits”, but if I can’t answer something for whatever reason I’ll say so, though I’ve never had a question that I wouldn’t answer.

In earlier series, I’ve been asked about myself, my past, about life in New Zealand—mine or in general—about being an expat, what I think about various topics or events in the news, and so on. Many different things, many possibilities.

To ask questions, leave a comment on this post (anonymous comments are allowed). Or, you can email me your question (and you can even tell me to keep your name secret, although, why not pick a nom de question?). You can also ask questions on the AmeriNZ Facebook page, though keep in mind that all Facebook Pages are public, just like this blog. You can also send me a private message through the AmeriNZ Facebook Page.

Finally, as I always note, this idea is stolen from inspired by Roger Green’s “Ask Roger Anything” (“ARA”) posts, which he still does, and far more often than I could manage.

So, over to you: Ask your question whatever way works best for you, and I’ll do my best to answer it.

All posts in this series will be tagged “AAA-18”. All previous posts from every “Ask Arthur” series are tagged, appropriately enough, ”Ask Arthur”.
