Today is a both sweet and sour. I've just finished celebrating my birthday, which was really good. But today was the state funeral for Sir Edmund Hillary, which was sad. Today, I talk about both.
First I talk about Sir Ed's funeral, and explain a little bit about how much he meant to New Zealanders. He was an extraordinary man, and we'll probably never again see anyone like him.
Then it's on to a lighter topic—my birthday! What did Nigel get me, and what did I think about it? How did we celebrate? It's different from how I celebrated in Illinois.
A few comments, another bald plea for reviews on iTunes, and that's it for this Tuesday edition.

That's so nice of Nigel to get you the podcasting equipment. I know you enjoy having new toys to play with. He's so nice.
I agree--it was very nice, but he's nicer. I think I'll keep him!
Arthur - Life has been a tad overwhelming on my end and I haven't been keeping up with my comments. I do catch up on the podcasts sooner or later. Sorry you had such terrible trouble with the airlines (United is on my shit list as well) and so glad you had a great birthday.
Sorry I didn't get to speak with you when you were in the US - so nice of you and Rambleredhead to give it a try.
Best wishes for many more birthdays.
