Personal issues starting to get resolved

    Well as some of you may know after I was married last summer in Canada 
to my girl friend of 8 years, my wife and I were separated at the border the 
day after our wedding.  Seven months later, a ton of expense, overwhelming 
frustration, MANY tears on both sides of the border, way to much Rum, and a 
really rough Christmas, she'll be coming down here to our Matrimonial home 
for the first time on Friday.  Some strings were pulled by some family 
members who have freinds in Politics who managed to remove the red flag on 
her passport.  I have never really had many nice things to say about 
Politicians in the past but they did what they could to help and though she 
still has to go back for the final interview and our costs were still 
astronomically the same, I'm greatful.  The moral of this story is ..... 
well there really isn't one.  I researched what I could and was mislead by 
someone who misrepresented themselves as knowledgable in immigration 
matters, employees of the USCIS no less (Formerly INS).  I can't count on 
two hands how many people I've brought to tears with our story, and the 
other half with my angry outbursts.  On the bright side when people around 
me started whining about some annoyingly small problem I'd ask them if it 
would be better if their wife was allowed in the country and no one dared 
contradict the ultimate in valid points.  It's not over but this is a major 
step forward to her being able to finally get on with her career and our 
lives together.  Unfortunately I think this may also put a damper on my 
wrenching.  I think I'll also be forced to clean up the miniature junk yard 
I've started in the back yard.  A small price to pay after what we've been 
through.  I might be gone from the list for a while, but I'll still be 
around.  I might also have just sourced the ultimate in 16V parts and I'll 
only need one or two peices so I'll be back to spread the fortune.  I just 
have a few things I'll be taking care of on the home front.  Insert innuendo 
of choice here.
