Another hoop...

I'm back, and thanks for the kind wishes. Yes, there's one more hoop to jump through. The visa interview process is well organized and painless. I wish I could say the same for the Embassy website, as it's full of contradictions and some requirements aren't raised or are buried in a wealth of BS. It turns out my fiancée has to mail me yet one more form, which I have to send to the US Embassy before they issue the visa. Oh well, these things are sent to try us...

I hope to write the next chapter of the Chronicles this weekend. The Gravies have yet to be escorted off the premises and there's the upcoming siege of Randstadt to cover.

In the meantime I have a batch of late 80's vintage wargames magazines up on eBay for those who may be interested, including issues of Practical Wargamer and one Battle for Wargamers Manual. Jeff has just pointed out that the link isn't quite right. I've modified it so now they can be found here. I'll give a discount on postage to any of my readers who wish to bid.

AJ,

The link just took me to an eBay sign-in page . . . even after I'd signed in it only took me to my "My EBay" page.

I did a search for "Practical Wargamer" and found three . . . I don't know if they are yours . . . anyway I bid on one of them (since I'm in Canada, the postage is daunting).

Anyway you might want to revise the link.

It is amazing, none of our 20 million illegal aliens seem to any any difficulty with visas!

It's the same here. This guv'mint's immigration policy seems to be "Come in and wipe your feet - or not, if it offends your Human Rights..."

Wish you to have a great trip when you do come to the states ... and hope the culture shock isn't too much!

Culture shock... well, I'll do my best - but I'm afraid you'll just have to get used to me. :P

Seriously, I already have an addiction to root beer and hush puppies. I pay taxes on my royalties to the IRS - and complain about taxation without representation. One of my all-time favorite historical figures is John Adams. I'm also in favor of responsible gun ownership. I think I'll fit right in. ;)
