Progress?

On top of everything else, when I looked at my cell phone yesterday there was a message from a Special Investigator, no doubt about my interim security clearance. He wanted me to call him "immediately". Since it was already 1730 PST (he was calling from San Diego) I left a message apologizing, but that today I am defending my doctoral dissertation and it would be impossible for me to call until Thursday, between time change and meetings with advisors.

I *knew* this would happen due to Murphy's law.

I started today by going out for a bottle of white wine to bring for the reception. We brought a 5-litre box of red from California. What Lil told us was true; tell the Customs & Immigration guy you have over legal limit for alcohol and if it's wine he'll wave you through in Quebec.

Off to pack my stuff and get into my suit. I'm taking the Metro to school while Steve and Lil prepare for the reception. I meet with dissertation advisor at noon and I'm praying real hard she brings a car because I don't feel like mountain-climbing in my good gray suit.

Don't even sweat this. You start getting nervous, just ask yourself "What would Garma do?" ^_^

Fret over what my older sibling would say if I performed badly?

What would Giren do? He's a better role model for this. But it was fine.

Fingers and toes crossed!

Good luck!!! Kick some ass.

little late to the game, but I expect you kicked all kinds of ass and you are currently being feted, quebecois style.

Also sort of late to the game, but I'm confident that so much ass was kicked that only the grandiose verbiage of legend and myth could do it justice.
