... and it's a no-go

The passport came through, but in the end none of the relevant departments was willing to fund my participation in the trip. Ah well. Here's hoping that the next time the Big B thinks about sending me somewhere, I'll have at least a smidgen more notice. And hey -- now I have a current passport. It's a disappointment, but hardly a tragedy.

Just noticed you'd added me to your reading list last night. I confess that I, too, am puzzled by the startling competency of government bureaucracy in this case. But maybe it was only because the cosmos knew that plans were going to fall through for some other reason.

Ah, so you think the current government is in league with the universe? A scary thought!

No -- I think the cosmos makes mock of my government. Why should the cosmos be any different from the rest of the world?
