Christmas present from U.S. Government
What a great surprise to find in the post our Green Cards from USCIS. Now we are U.S. permanent residents for real! With that little card, the threat of deportation vanishes and along comes the advantage of very short queue in airport immigration, among other things.
Age += 1
So today I am one year older and Leah bought me the best birthday present, a 20GB iPod, along with Pearl Jam’s On Two Legs (Live) CD! So my task for lunch time will be to visit my local Best Buy and get a case of some description, probably iSkin or something similar, to protect the iPod.
And this evening we are going out for a nice dinner at a French restaurant, Gascogne. I am debating perhaps I should try, for the first time, foie gras but I am definitely on the look out for snails!

May be it is trying to tell me to use simpler tenses than past participles?
