Working on a paper, due tomorrow... settling down.

Half of my boxes made it to Resolute yesterday. Need to check on the gravity meter.

Received my health clearances for Canada, as well as Spain, Germany, and Japan... they gave me a standard travel-meds kit. And I picked up my new official red US passport from the counterintelligence and export control office.

Back to the paper... 1000 words to go. Hopefully not an all-nighter tonight.

On top of that, the "Official" and "Diplomatic" covers are slightly-different shades of red... If I were going to stay in Spain continuously for more than 30 days, instead of going back and forth to Germany, I was told that I'd have to get one of the latter instead.

Quite fascinating, actually. I didn't realize there were different colors of US Passports.

Do you have to forfeit your blue one to get the red? It would be kind of spiffy to be able to have both, and use the blue when you're going on vacation and such, or just don't need/want the extra attention of the red.

(nods) that's exactly what I do, as I have a blue one as well.

Would you get diplomatic immunity too? *grin*

Finish your paper and let's have lunch!

Depends on the issues involved... (grin)
