After no small amount of sweating, my passport arrived today. I of course waited too long to send it off for renewal, then I began to hear horror stories of how backlogged the passport people are. Since the guvmint now requires everyone to have a passport to go even to Mexico or Canada there has been a flurry of applications. It was good for another year but I was running out of space for stamping!
First, I sent it off with a check made out for the wrong amount so to punish me for my stupidity they kept it in a drawer for a month then sent it all back. By that time I decided to go through an expediting service, which cost triple, but since we're heading off to Gay Paree in May I didn't want to fuck around.
So it's here, all shiny and new and colorful, with some sort of electronic bug in it so George Bush can keep track of me in case I visit the Axis of Evil.
