Later

"Killer Mountain" is good, almost over. I remember having seen parts of it before, but I hadn't watched it from beginning to end. Now kind of watching the beginning of the "Yeti" movie, which I'd missed, and have been on the phone with E. since he got off work. (Busy night for him.) (Good.)

The other day, I suggested to E. we take a vacation together to Savannah, since he's never been there before - and it has its unique, unspoiled charms and is gay-friendly and not much of a trek from Miami. I myself had vacationed there, for the first time, a couple of years ago and had a wonderful time - walked all around the historic sector, had a "haunted" bus tour, ate at Paul Deen's restaurant, went to a couple of gay bars, etc. One of the bars, where the drag queen in the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" still performed, was a block away from my hotel. (My itinerary didn't allow me to catch one of her shows, however.)

E. didn't have much to say about that proposal. Then last night, he said he'd like us to go back to Canada. He and I had vacationed there before, in Quebec City (which I'd visited once before and loved), and also paid a one-night visit to "my friend in Canada" who lives down near Maine.

I said I was all for that, even though I thought he'd love to see Savannah (and it's closer). In the meantime, however, my passport has expired (I have two expired passports), and tonight I spent a considerable amount of time searching and double-searching everywhere I could think of for either of the passports - with no luck. The government's online passport application asks whether you've already had a passport (yes) and whether it's been lost (yes), and if so, requires the date of it to be filled in on the form. But if I can't find the passport, how can I fill in the date?

So I answered that I'd never had a passport before (and I do have the documents necessary under these circumstances, like my birth certificate). I assume this can all be ironed out at the time I submit the application (has to be in person). So next year I'll take a day off to get this taken care of. Fortunately I can get it done right up the street, at a post office, and also get a passport photo taken there, if necessary. (But I think I'll do my own photo here at home.) (I bookmarked the specifications off the government website.)
