I look up renew US passport, I expect to find something on a Canadian passport renewal at the same time; I'm wrong again. I type in download Canadian passport application, the site that comes up has an error on the page. I'm back at a new Google search now so I type download Canadian passport application again.

"I think it might be time for our Canadian passport renewal," I tell my wife. "I was trying to check on it online last night, but I got too tired."

"I had you sign the Canadian passport renewal form two months ago," she tells me. "your new passport is in your attache case that you drug along on this trip for no apparent reason. Now go back to bed, we have a long day of shopping ahead of us."
