Back in the USA

Eric and I made it back to the States and through customs with no issues tonight. Richie was nice enough to pick us up from LAX, and we are having a lovely (though too short) visit with him and Lucie -- and their fuzzy pooch Brando. We're heading back to Philly tomorrow at noon and should arrive about 8pm...assuming that the travel gods continue giving us good luck. Back to work for Eric on Tuesday...so sad.
