How to get (or renew) a passport
It made me
accomplished 
"All it really took to get this done was 30 minutes at the post office and $200."
How I did it: Printed out the forms from the website.
Filled them out.
Got out my checkbook.
Had the post office take my photos.
Paid for the book and the card version at once.
Handed over the forms and the money.
Waited less than two weeks.
Had a passport (and my birth certificate returned by mail)
