Clubs depend on exclusivity; if the conditions of membership aren’t enforced or argued away by the more insincere members, it dies or becomes something only faintly resembling what it set out to be.

Did you ever live or work or study outside the USA? If you did, and feel like that place or those places are as much home to you as anywhere in the USA, I'd like to meet you and share stories and experiences.

Some ideas, and I'm open for more, include celebrating the holidays of the places where you …
