Stickers!

I feel a little like Charlie, visiting Willie Wonka's factory today. Who ever thought there would come a day that I'd be willing to shell out a chunk of money just to get a bunch of golden stickers?

Well, that is just what I did today! (and actually, I have to do again tomorrow as I realized I have two documents that are missing notarizations) These golden stickers, purchased at the Secretary of State's office, certify that the notaries who who witnessed my signatures on said documents are indeed authorized to do just that. Their notary registration numbers have been checked, and their expiration dates verified. They are, in fact, all certified, verified, notaries, and I am who I say I am, and these documents are FOR REAL MAN!!!!

So now what? Now, if a country were to request our "dossier", this is it! This IS our dossier. This bundle of golden stickerfied documents are what gets fed-exed to to whatever country gives us the approval to do so.

And, it's very possible that we'll have that very approval one of these days. And when we get it, we will be ready!
