New Car, New World
In America, what car you drive says a lot about you. Our current car, a 2015 Ford Fiesta, was the first new car I ever bought and was a reasonable expense. At the time, Dana and I wanted a brand new car that wouldn’t need any extra bells or whistles, and would reliably deliver me…
Ann Arbor to Austin
The sun had yet to rise over Waco, Texas. It was 6am and the last day of driving before Dana and I reached our new home in Austin, Texas. We had been driving for three days that felt like three weeks; through the snow, rain, traffic, construction, and heat of seven states. I shuffled through…
California Christmas
After making the transition from the Great Lakes to the West Coast, Dana and I are really getting used to the beautiful state of California. Los Angeles county has so many different things to do and see; it has the big city life, beautiful beaches, rolling mountains, and empty canyon lands. It is a welcome…
Cross Country
Dana and myself drove across the country this past week. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights! Michigan: Woke up early early (3am) and started driving. Driving in the dark in Michigan is a lot like driving in Michigan every other time of day; dark and bleak with a lot of clouds blocking…
Moving!
We’re moving out west! This November Dana and I will be packing up the car and heading to the Left Coast to start our lives as Californians. You may be asking yourself,”Why California, Dana & Erik?” Well that’s a very good, but stupid question. -Gorgeous Weather all year round -Plenty of interesting careers in art,…
July 2012 Update
“Blog” is such an ugly word. It sounds like something gross you’d pull out of your clogged drainpipe or something. I’ve been away from WordPress for a while but I decided to come back and start “blogging” again. It helps to write things out and hopefully hear a few opinions and commentary on what I’ve…
South Africa Part 2 – Swimming with Sharks
So the first part of my trip I kept a journal, ( See my entry: Flying with Tryge ) but as time went on I got better at forgetting to write in it. That being said, I remember just about everything about the day I went Great White Shark Cage Diving, and wrote quite a bit…
South Africa Part 1 – Flying with Tryge
Nov. 2nd – Get on a plane in Detroit that takes me to Washington D.C. where I wait for two hours to get on South African Airways. This then takes me 7 hours across the Atlantic to Dakar, where we wait on the ground for an hour to refuel, and then 7 more hours across…
Erik goes to NYC, in 3rd Person
(The following is to be read in a thick New York Accent:) It was a clear morning but Erik Reichenbach’s seat on the plane was facing away from Manhattan, so he didn’t get to see how impressive the skyscrapers looked from above. It was Tuesday, Sept. 13th, and way too early. Over the next seven…
