I'm home in the U.S. now! My brother met me at the airport, and then drove me 2 1/2 hours to our mother's house. It was great to see my mother and her three cats again. . . and my brother and his cat! Yes, at the moment there are four cats at home. Wow, that's a lot of cats. :-) I'm not able to send you the last interview I had, with a hitchhiker from Singapore, because it's on the good Dell laptop that stopped working a week ago. I'm writing this on a brand new Lenovo laptop that I ordered from Amazon, which arrived yesterday. I'm writing this at 2 am, because I have jetlag. That means that I sleep at the wrong times. It will take me about eight days to get my sleep patterns back to normal. Some people adapt to new time zones easily, but I don't.

Here's one of my older interviews, with a nice guy I worked with for four years, Gavin. This is from November 2015.

TQ 022 Gavin from England (Replay)

Gavin  is my neighbor and co-worker . . . I know, it seems like I have a lot of neighbors and co-workers! He's from London, England. He explains to me that he speaks the Queen's English, also called BBC English. Compare his accent with Andy's in TQ 019. Gavin also tries to explain England, Britain and the U.K. to me, but I'm not sure I got it. Listen as he talks about world cinema, including Japanese movies and Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. He also tells us about a unique British holiday called Guy Faulkes Day and suggests a museum for us to visit at the Forbidden City in Beijing.
