Week 726: RIP Eric Erickson

Weekly Written Review

Not long after arriving in Los Angeles, I discovered Eric Erickson on Craig's List and he invited me for my 1st radio interview on March 14, 2011. Over a decade later, I believe it remains my only interview in LA. 3 months later he invited me to The Electric Carnival. Followed by another invite on July 25, 2011 and August 24, 2011.  Not to mention, he hired me for voice-over work. Later, I was honored to interview him on my Blog Talk Radio Show. Years passed and we reconnected in cinema greatness starring in Snake Outta Compton. Snake Trailer HERE.

It was sad to learn of Eric's passing this week because he is one of the great ones. Looking back at our history, Eric created more opportunities for me than most people I've met in LA. 

I am grateful to have crossed paths with Eric Erickson. Thank you for being kind to me, Eric. 

Sending energies of peace, love, and strength to the Erickson family.

Week 724: Swimming Lessons

Weekly Written Review 

In preparation of something that fell through, I signed up for swimming lessons. After four days, I still don't know how to swim. There was a slight improvement but not much. I know the mechanics and I can probably teach better than do it myself. It's tough. I'll do my best to keep practicing but it's not something I enjoy.
