Elmhurst, NY til Rego Park, NY

Min Matrix som jeg kørte tværs over USA i.

Pga. min ejendomsmæglers uansvarlige opførsel, havde jeg ikke blot mistet min oprindelige lejlighed, boet over tre uger på hotel, mistet tæt på $6000 … ja, nu skulle jeg tømme alt for at have råd til at betale indskud endnu en gang. Skulle jeg grine eller græde?

Asheville, NC til Boone, NC

Vi stoppede ved et par af parkvejens “Overlooks” og ellers talte vi rigtig meget omkring sæsoner og dyr der bor omkring os. Vi legede en fjolleleg, hvor vi spurgte træerne dumme spørgsmål og de svarede os fjollet tilbage. Det fik mange grin frem hos den 4-årige dreng, når træerne svarede: “Fordi Markus slog en prut!

Southaven, MS til Nashville, TN

I dag kørte vi ind i Alabama for at komme på Natchez Trace Parkway, som er en gammel skovvej på over 700 kilometer, der forbinder Nashville, Tennessee med Natchez, Mississippi. Vi skulle kun kører lidt af ruten, og den tog jeg som en smagsprøve på en oplevelse jeg gerne vil have i fuld – om nogle år når børnene er ældre.

2020 – en epilog

Smid et tæppe af en global epidemi over verdens befolkningen, og tilføj nogle pyntepuder af civil urolighed, økonomisk ødelæggelse og social distancering og du har en menneskehed med store, store problemer. Vi kommer aldrig “over” 2020.

Hvorfor ikke bare kører, Maria?

Det var faktisk min mor, der satte tanken i hovedet på mig. Jeg havde bestilt en auto transport til Toyotaen til den “nette” pris af $1150. Den laveste pris, jeg havde fundet hvor gennemsnittet lå på $1600. Fra en mægler, der ville tage $250 gebyr for at finde en billig transport. De havde ikke de… Continue reading Hvorfor ikke bare kører, Maria?

Flytte til New York midt i pandemien 2020

I found a studio! vol 2.

After I got the call that I shouldn’t expect problems with getting the board approval I thought it was going to be easy peasy the rest of the way. I was so wrong!!!

I found a studio!

Last week I went for a walk around the neighborhood of Forest Hills, NY to think, relax and look for ‘For Rent’ signs. Some of the houses in Forest Hills are almost mansion-like, big beautiful houses, crazy expensive. Then, I saw a ‘For Sale’ sign. I thought to myself, what if I could buy? Then… Continue reading I found a studio!

I’m coming home.

I couldn’t sleep last night. It’s always been difficult for me to finish my things on time, whenever I was moving. Usually it would turn out with last minute panic attacks. For whatever reason, most likely the fact that I know I’m making the absolut right decision, well, I managed to get ready on time!… Continue reading I’m coming home.
