i think i need a new passport

You may remember that I lost 30 pounds last year (truth be told, it was 35, but I’ve found a couple of them since then).

Anyway today as I was checking in for my flight to London, I showed my passport to the lady in line to ID myself.

She looked closely. Then took a step back. She looked down. She looked up. I smiled. She then said, “This doesn’t look like you.”

I pulled out my Florida drivers license and she said, “Okay, that looks like you.”

I told her I lost weight. The other lady came by to see what was going on. She agreed.

It was funny. But maybe I should get a new passport photo. I’m stuck with this one for 6 more years.

Or eat more.

  2. If you need 30 lbs. I have some to spare and would be glad to give them to you!

  3. Ditto, Bill. I’d look much better if Rob would take 30 pounds from me!

  4. [...] Rob’s out of town for the week. He’s in London for ministry meetings with Western European leaders. They’ll be discussing internet ministry plans to reach that area of the world. Sounds exciting! He had some trouble with his passport yesterday at the Orlando airport. [...]
