I didn’t want to take time on the call, but I am SO happy to have received my renewed passport yesterday AM…
(quite a saga - it took 5 weeks + for a simple renewal, with multiple calls to the passport agency, and an in-person appointment in Seattle at 8AM yesterday morning… Wow. And the irony was I was just renewing because I had only four months until it expired, rather than the recommended six…)
So, have hotel, flight, and conference registration in hand. See you Wednesday AM!
Ugh, just threw my back out. Not looking forward to the 20 hour flight this weekend. Might require general anesthesia to get there.
Looking forward to seeing folks, just might not be as mobile as usual.Andy

On the waiting list, but it doesn’t look good. Crossing my fingers I can get it to calm down before Sunday when I leave. Thanks!

Speaking as someone who knows about flying with acute back pain, two suggestions other than ibuprofen – (1) a cushioned Velcro wraparound back support, the kind that takes heat packets [no, I didn’t have a problem with them at security]; (2) if it’s really bad, go medical and prescribe yourself some lidocaine patches. Hope to see you pain free!
