Remember Your Passport

David Lee landed at about 2:30 a.m., all sweaty and grungy, and the drug-sniffing dogs were all over him, barking up a storm. Of course, he was detained and questioned for nearly two hours. When they realized he was clean, the customs agent broke into a big smile and said, “OK, Welcome to Canada.” The topic came up because of my own laborious journey yesterday. Our friendly northern neighbor now won’t let you fly into the country with just a birth certificate, pictured driver’s license and pictured press pass. As of Jan. 22nd, you need a passport, too, to visit our Canadian allies. I discovered two weeks ago my passport was missing and am still waiting for it in the mail. So I had to fly into Buffalo, and drive across the border the two hours to Toronto. My bad.”
