Embassy staff contacted me and suggested I leave the country. I got a flight to Munich and a standby to the States. The gate agent warned me that my name had been flagged by the German government and not to leave the Munich airport. Karma's a bitch. After fourteen uncomfortable hours in the Munich airport with the local police watching me from a distance, I am about to board a plane for New York. Hopefully, the wife will let me back into the house. Helluva way to celebrate an award winning story though.
