Passport arrives

I like that the "homepage" on a blog is called a dashboard. Makes me think of the many hours I'll be spending looking across the dashboard of my Corolla as I travel the highways and byways.

I got my new U.S. passport in the mail the other day, making the trip to Canada a real possibility. From what I've heard, it's not hard to get INTO Canada without a passport, but if you want to come home again you need one.

I'll admit the idea of becoming Canadian hasn't always seemed like a bad idea. You know what they say: A Canadian is just an unarmed American, with health care. But having an option to come home is a good thing.
