Fall ’09

November 14th, 2009

Almost four months since we returned to the east coast. Here’s a quick update-

I spent most of the end of July and August restoring my dad’s old Harley Davidson. It had spent most of the decade rusting away in the back of the garage; my brother and I put a ton of time into it (and about $2500), and it turned out pretty well. Pictures coming up.

After this, for the end of August/early September, Magic and I crashed at my brother’s place outside of Baltimore. My main takeaways from this experience are a) the MARC train is awful, and b) suburban Maryland is not somewhere I want to live again..

In September, I got an apartment in NYC — West Village, to be specific. This pretty much put the nail in the coffin of the nomadic life for at least a year. It was bittersweet, but it’s nice being consistently around my friends again.

In October, I traveled to London and Zurich, and in early November, I did a short trip back out to Santa Monica.

I’ve also laid the groundwork for some ridiculous future mission by buying a bunch of mountain land near Hamburg, PA. It’s not clear what I’m going to do with this, if anything, but it’s nice to scratch the homesteading itch every now and then. This will probably be the temporary resting place for the Airstream after I rescue it from storage next spring.

Lots of pics coming up!
