Moved over to Xanga...

For now, I all my blog posts, and pictures will be on my Xanga blog. Most, of my pictures will end up in my Gallery here eventually. Though sometimes I get lazy and don't upload them right away. So for all the newest, and comments, head over to my new blog.

Eventually, I will redo this page. The gallery will remain intact either way.

Pic of the Day - Recent photo shoot

From out recent photo shoot. Where going to Pinup. This picture doesn't capture that, but it is still one of my favorites.

Warning to anyone wanting a Passport!

Make sure you have a STATE issued birth certificate. Some may say DUH! here, but I have used the same birth certificate (BC) for nearly 40 years. Issued by the hospital where I was born, and signed by people who actually WITNESSED my birth. But thats not good enough for a passport apparently. I have used this BC for nearly 40 years, 2 marriages, a social security card, a drivers license, and to get into the military. Apparently it was good enough for them, and for getting me Secret level clearance while I was in the military, but not good enough to enter/exit the country.
Now going to cost an additional $30 to expedite being sent a state issued BC, and another $60 to expedite my passport to make sure I get in time for our trip to the Caymans.
