Passport Update

Lots of comments and emails came in around my post on 'renewing' the American passport. Everyone says - yup, its a scam. Shouldn't these sites be shut down? They look so official and given how high their ranking is in Google searches, thousands must pay the $55 to merely download a 'how-to' guide. Bottom line advice: stand in the line at a local post office and go through it the old fashioned way. I love blogs for so many reasons; this is a partricularly good one.
