Big Frank has seen the rising sun set; has polished off platters of sashimi; has soaked his bones in bubbling mineral water; has stood toe to toe to toe to toe with Tokyo commuters; and has even taken a bow or two, or three. Now . . . it’s time for his repatriation and so he’s heading back where he came from; no, not North Dakota, Spokane. He’ll be sliding across the Pacific sky in a long silver aluminum tube with jet engines attached to its sides, and (this is the really neat part) he arrives before he leaves!! Try to wrap your noodle around that one. That’s right Big Frank is actually in the future right now and when he returns from the future he gets the day back that the past owes him for when he lost a day (that’s what happened when he jumped into the future). (There is no better proof of being in the future than the photo above - it was taken in the Namba neighborhood of Osaka, Ridley Scott's inspiration for the futuristic cityscape of Blade Runner - this is definitely not todayland.) So Big Frank needs to mark this day down – October 14; because he will be living it twice!! And . . . he sure hopes that it’s a good one – what a bummer it would be to have to repeat a crappy day! So catch you all tomorrow – yesterday!
