The Accidental Scofflaw Goes AWOL

That’s me. Found out today I should have been carrying my green card everywhere, at all times, for the past 20 years. Ooops!

That’s a $1,000 fine, I found out this morning at the CSIS offices.

Got my fingerprints taken for the re-newed green card, every 10 years, $370.00 They do ‘em digitally now and it was very cool to see my fingertips in this fashion. They looked like farmer’s fields from 35,000 feet.

I’m now also nearing the finish line on my book — and my eyeballs are melting.

So I’m off on vacation tomorrow and return next week. I’ll read email and comments and may, if the mood strikes, post.

It’s the last month of T/S in this form, and you may have noticed how many fewer posts are going up. Many of us have no idea what’s happening, here or to us as we await further details of what role, if any, any of us might have after Forbes takes over July 1.

I love the passion and wit and insight y’all bring to Broadside, and I’ll keep you up to date on my plans and whereabouts, I promise.
