Reichenbach Falls: Starvation boots Erik off Survivor: Caramoan
Well, I guess he wasn’t kidding when he said he was starving. After overcoming a load of self-doubt last week, Erik Reichenbach exited Survivor: Caramoan within the first 10 minutes of the final episode, attached to a bag of intravenous fluids in the back of a medical van. Diagnosis: starvation state and dehydration. The show [...]
Erik’s ‘beautiful prison’ stay continues on ‘Survivor’
Day 35 was Erik Reichenbach’s turn for a meltdown on Survivor: Caramoan. At least he doesn’t have one every day – my God, Dawn should be dehydrated to the max by now. I can’t wait for someone to vote for her in tribal council, and when they do one of those whispered here’s-the-reason scenes, it’s [...]
Erik Reichenbach’s Donut-fueled immunity win on Survivor:Caramoan
Someone must be missing that local running mecca, the Pinckney Bakery. In the first immunity challenge of the day, our Erik gave up a quest for immunity in a dubious trade-off for a plate of donuts and a large glass of ice cold milk. “I so want that,” he moaned, as host Jeff Probst took a [...]

The Apocalypse may be over, but the new production at Williamston Theatre (WT), Williamston, MI takes you along on one family’s wild ride through the “End Days.” What a ride it is. With the Millennium a distant memory, and 2012 already sloshing through the snow into history, you’d think that by February 2013 watching a [...]
Downton Abbey: Brits, the Nobility, and the great Battle of New Orleans
Anglophile that I am, I loved the first episode of this season’s Downton Abbey series on PBS. Lady Barbara and I were late comers, missing the first year. Upon realizing our mistake, we rented that year’s episodes on DVDs and did binge viewing of them, staying up some nights to 1 a.m. I have always [...]
