Never believe the passport office if they say "in a reasonable amount of time".
Check out the route I'm taking to get to Colorado over Spring Break:
Toronto - Houston - Colorado Springs; and then Colorado Springs - Minneapolis - Toronto. That's a lot of airtime.
I get to hang out with my American counterparts for a week AND, since I have the security clearance, a special tour of NORAD Headquaters in Cheyenne Mountain!

If anyone's in Kingston in late March, check out Levity at the Grand Theatre. We're only playing a short set but the acoustics should be sweet.
