Bad news is good news!

Today Claudia called to ask for my passport and FM2 - it expires in two days. I told her I needed them to get on the plane this friday when I'm scheduled to go to Houston. She then informed me that I couldn't leave the country with an expired FM2. Could you hear me scream in Houston? Dad-the-bad had the best solution - leave tomorrow for Houston BEFORE the FM2 expires. I should have no problem getting back into the country with the expired document. And if I do, I think I can deal with it. Meltdown averted!
