Yesterday evening the FedEx desk agent asked me when I would like my documents to arrive in Washington DC--this morning, or this afternoon? "Oh, in the morning, definitely," I replied. "Okay, no problem," he said...$35 and 13.5 hours later the FedEx online tracking shows that my visa application arrived and was signed for at the Embassy of Ghana on International Drive, 2427 miles from where I dropped it off in Berkeley, California. The world is a very small place and shrinking all the time. Here's where my passport has been between when I gave it over to Kent at FedEx/Kinko's on Shattuck last night, just as the sun was going down, and when it arrived on the East Coast before the sun came up again.
