I am headed to the passport office this AM to get a new passport. I didn't have time to do the expidited renewal after getting back from Japan.

It seems I have had to do some expiditing everytime I have renewed my passport. Passports are good for 10 years.

I will post a pic as soon as I rediscover my passwords for the ftp connection to the server.
