✈ very apropos

 basically, tix and passport renewal 

are the major theme in the house
to wit. off at 8 AM to line up and renew our pasports. the gov't website notes that 
their target processing window is 20 days
" please do not book a trip until - you receive your passport "

words to lighten your heart

angst. your dreams at night. so, there is a lineup around the plaza and the rain is coming down w/ icicles on your nose. then you discover, due to circumstances beyond control - your passport needs to wait til next year

reality. you are the line. receptionist points to a kiosk and 5 of ten kiosks have clients. approx 15 min later, 2 passport applications on their way. the agent says ' normal expectation is 5 weeks but you have a renewal - lets guess 3 weeks '

I like reality better EXCEPT ' your photo has you turned a bit ' WHAT ?? - just a warning that passport division may query the angle [ as in you might be hiding something - like the ugly side ]
We shall see said the Zen Master

our passports are good for ten years [ option ]
a Canadian passport is fairly valuable in world terms. only a small number of countries hate us
I mean we didn't conquer anybody to gain land

next hurdles. research car rentals
and solve the cellphone problem. our service in Canada is just that only in Canada. thus we need a SIM card for a U.S. carrier
