Passing along for more crossed fingers

RE: Dennis Cooper's blog,
" p.s. Hey. First of all, I have a favor to ask that's kind of silly, but, nonetheless ... By the time I post tomorrow, there will very likely be a decision on Yury's US visa application since his embassy meeting is at 9 am in the morning. So, if you can spare a couple of fingers and/or a spare thought, could you cross them, in the first case, or infuse it with positivity and send it our way, in the latter case, when you hit the mattress tonight? We're going to need all the luck we can get. If he gets the visa, it'll be monumental, and it will end the seven years plus battle with the US immigration service that forced us both to move to France in the first place. If he gets a denial, it will be his fourth, and, given that he now qualifies for the visa in every way, it will mean the unknowable forces that have caused this ongoing injustice are basically beyond our control and that he has little or no hope of ever being granted entry into the US barring his becoming a French citizen, and that's a process that would take years.
