A quick update for anyone following the saga of Mr Moo's December business trip to Israel and his expired passport. The trip has been postponed indefinitely. Phew! He didn't have to drive all the way to Seattle and back on Wednesday to renew his passport. He did mail it in for expedited processing though since Intel is paying for it, but it doesn't look like he'll need it until the end of January at the earliest. Mr Moo says there is a good chance the whole trip will end up being cancelled in the end. That's what I'm hoping happens because I really don't want him to go. As much as he tries to convince me the area he'd be going to is perfectly safe, I just don't like the idea of him going anywhere in the Middle East right now. More on this as it develops.
