Well, we are back in California and it only took me 20 hours to do it! Three countries ,four cities and I made it back to La Jolla. Started out in Annecy at 10:00 in the morning, taxi ride to Geneva, Switzerland, to the airport. I’m not crazy about airports and it took us nearly an hour to get through check in, the security and then on the ramp to the airplane, I was singled out by this one guy just sitting at a table on the walk ramp, he did a full cavity search of me and my carryon luggage before I got on the plane. Just went through everything - and I wasn’t even wearing the funny hat.

The first leg of the journey was an eight hour flight soaring over the Atlantic Ocean. And that was after sitting on the runway for an hour because of a burn-out light bulb and they had to fill out paper work but they had to do it through the United office in Chicago. The flight was pretty uneventful, and since I’m a big guy, economy class is not an option! So I sat in Business class in these nice lazy-boy recliners and watched the film ‘Frost and Nixon,’ Frank Langella did an amazing job playing Nixon. Caught a few Z’s and we actually gained a day as we flew into Dulles, Washington. But because we were delayed an hour we only had an hour and a half to get through customs until our next flight. I got a little worried when I saw how long the line was but I must say the US Customs people sure know what they are doing and got hundreds of people through to their planes, in our case, with 45 minutes to spare. I just have a few things to declare including a new Swatch watch I got in Annecy – cool watch – big numbers!

The flight to San Diego was a five hour flight but there are no cool business class seats, though the seats were a little bigger than the poor guys in Economy. Got into San Diego about 8pm and was picked up by Brian the Nice Guy’s friend Peter. (Peter also took us to the airport at the ungodly hour of 4:30AM.) Got home around 9pm and just crashed until the next morning.
Glad to be home, glad I don’t have to do this for a while but now I gotta go through the stuff from Annecy, get some new films and start setting up for the San Diego Comic Con. It may be a few days before I start blogging again but I’m going to put up some more pictures and edited videos from Annecy, so keep checking back here.

Also, if you are reading these things give me your comments and questions and I’ll try to do blogs about stuff you wanna know - about Spike and Mike’s and Sick and Twisted or whatever!
