Have you ever seen one of these critters at the beach? Also known as “sand crabs” or “sand fleas,” Pacific mole crabs (Emerita analoga) can be found across the western coasts of North and South America. East Coast residents might encounter their relatives, the Atlantic sand crabs (Emerita talpoida), during summertime beach trips. Mole crabs migrate with the tides, keeping up with breaking waves to filter feed on plankton brought in by the crashing waters. These critters use their back legs to get around, and they burrow backwards, too.

The Inn at Rodanthe as it was named in the movie based on Nicholas Sparks popular novel, “Nights In Rodanthe,” starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane, is the most famous home on Hatteras Island, North Carolina.

"Nights in Rodanthe” embraced the majestic natural beauty of Hatteras Island and the focal point of the story, the Inn at Rodanthe, was depicted as a unique seaside inn overlooking the great Atlantic Ocean. In reality, the Inn at Rodanthe was threatened by coastal storms, erosion and repetitive ocean over wash and in danger of falling into the ocean.

This oceanfront Hatteras Island retreat was originally built in the 1980’s with pilings driven 14 feet into the sand and set in concrete. At the time the Inn in Rodanthe was built, there was 400 feet of beach in front of the house.

In the spring of 2009, the current owners from Newton, NC and extreme fans of the movie, heard about the current state of the Inn at Rodanthe and made the decision to purchase the home and save a piece of movie history. On January 4, 2010, the Inn at Rodanthe and an alternate oceanfront lot, only a short distance from the original site, was purchased in an effort to preserve and protect the home from future storms.

The home was moved from its original site by Expert House Movers (the same company that moved the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse). The Inn at Rodanthe weighing in at 83,000 pounds was jacked up, shored with cribbing underneath, loaded up onto beams and four pair of huge wheels, and readied for its move in a matter of just two days. The electric crews and other utility companies temporarily took down power lines and the police stopped traffic while the Inn at Rodanthe took a 30 minute journey on Highway 12 to its new location.

Lessons From Dad

Today we set out to enjoy a beach day while on vacation at the river. The forecast called for rain at Atlantic Beach until 12 or 1, then cloudy for the afternoon. Determined to get just *ONE* day at the beach before heading back to work, I said "let's just do it. If the rain doesn't stop, we can just go to the aquarium". Halfway there, the rain was coming down fast and hard. Passing through Newport, I thought to myself "do we just need to turn around and go home? This isn't looking good." You know that saying "a rainy day at the beach is better than a sunny day at work"? Nope, I totally disagree. I'd much rather work in the sunshine than be at the beach in the rain. But at that moment, I flashed back to my teenage years, sitting in the back seat of the station wagon as our family traveled to Emerald Isle for one of our typical day trips during the summer. We only lived 90 minutes from the beach, so this was a regular occurrence and one I always looked forward to. Sometimes it would start to sprinkle and even pour on the drive there. I and whichever siblings were along for the ride would start our bellyachin'..."let's just go home! It's raining! It's gonna be nasty at the beach" etc. But Dad, the eternal optimist would retort "Now listen, this is just a little summer shower. It's probably sunny at the beach!" In all those years of daytrips to the beach, I don't remember a single time that we got rained out. So today, I heard his words and felt his optimism and it paid off. We waited out the rain under a picnic shelter at Fort Macon State Park, and it quickly dissipated, making way for an absolutely perfect day. There was a soothing sea breeze, cloud cover to tame the sun's scorching heat, and the water was amazingly calm with gently rolling waves, but big enough to catch with a boogie board or just bob over/through. While lazing in my chair, I watched a man showing his youngsters how to "catch a wave" with his body (bodysurfing). I immediately flashed back to that day in July 1987, one month before I was leaving home to begin my freshman year at NC State University. On that day, my family was at Emerald Isle on one of our typical daytrips, hanging out near the Bogue Inlet Pier as Mom always liked, to make it easier to find her as we came out of the water. Dad LOVED to bodysurf. He also had incredible lung capacity, so much so, that whenever he had to have lung xrays, it took 2 pictures to image both his lungs! And he LOVED to do the "dead man's float", meaning after he caught a wave, he would coast face-down, arms outstretched in front of him, until his body literally washed up on the shore. Us kids couldn't believe he could hold his breath that long. On this particular day, Dad caught a doozy of a wave. One with such power that he was not able to get his arms out in front of him and basically dumped him on his face. He did the dead man's float all the way to shore, but he didn't move when he "landed". My younger brother Brandon recognized something was badly wrong and pulled him out of the water. The details are foggy, but I remember Dad lying on his back (maybe Brandon rolled him over?) and Mom standing over him saying "honey, are you ok?" to which he responded "Doll, (short for Dolly, his pet name for her) I think I broke my neck." He could not move from his neck down, but had lung function. Miraculously, his incredible lung capacity had saved his life as he held his breath and prayed "Lord, I hope I'm ready, because I think this is it". He had suffered a C3-C7 spinal cord "bruising" which he mostly recovered from over the next 3-4 months, leaving him with a slight limp. As I watched the man today catch a wave or 2, I found myself unable to look in his direction any longer, as the memory of that fateful day in 1987 had overwhelmed me. I still love the beach, and even played in the water today, diving into the waves, jumping over them, and just floating in the calm between each swell, but the impact of watching Dad push through his recovery will always be a reminder of his amazing determination and optimism.

soo this past summer, i had the opportunity to participate in @theschoolofmakingthing ‘s IMMERSION 4.0 VR 360° video creation lab, Summer Residency Program, in partnership with @cucalorus film foundation. i played an awful lot lol. w/ sound, w/ vr cameras, with adobe premier 😅, in the atlantic ocean, along the boardwalk, at a state park in brackish water, with butterflies, w/ horses, in compost, on a skateboard, with fire, in a place that felt really familiar to me growing up in va along the coast only a couple hours away. we got to spend 3 weeks in wilmington nc, researching and absorbing the history of place, engaging with nature, living, creating, cooking, doing skillshares w/ and for each other. truly immersive! lol i also gathered madd footage for this short VR film i directed called “Record Warped on.tha Daily” that will be showing in Wilmington NC at the Cucalorus Film Festival in Mid-November (11/16 - 11/20). also too, i’m not sure if you’re aware, the school of making thinking has an active crowd sourcing campaign to launch their Artist Leadership Training Program. it’d be a good look to support if you can. this immersion definitely put a battery in my back and got connected with a community that’s madd encouraging and supportive. it’d be dope if they’d be able to expand their capacity to reach more artists (especially artists who are from disproportionately marginalized communities*). def peep the link in their bio for more info and if you’d like to support super grateful to have been able to be in community with such an amazing group of ppl. s/o to everyone involved, including @kissingtherain, @kesswa, @beautifulsoapbox, @mariabarbist, @mcfahnestock, @ks.brewer, fenton, @lizclaytonscofield, dan @stefanibyrdstudio .. slide 1: 🪞 @cucalorus slide 2 & 3 📸 by @beautifulsoapbox :scenes from a sound design skillshare i led 🎛🎚🎛🔉🔊 slide 4 📸 by @texasisaiah : 🌊 🧜🏽‍♂️ slide 5: @kissingtherain & @kesswa_ 🌊☀️ slide 6 & 7 📸 by @mcfahnestock : bts on site at the Daily Record vacant lot slide 8: New Hanover County Library archival reference slide 9: spanish moss @ sugarloaf.. carolina beach national park 🏞 slide 10: subt.le message by the 🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci2774NOkpM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Real Recovery Time After Traveling: A Hilarious Look

Just got back from traveling and it's taken me a few days to recover! Who knew un-everything-ing could be so exhausting? 😂 Check out my latest article on post-travel recovery time. #traveling #travelwriting #recoverytime #JeanatarTheArtist 🛫💤

I’m back home from traveling, and let me tell you, it’s taken me a good while to get back to normal. And by normal, I mean the illusion of normalcy that I had before I left. I’ve come to the realization that recovery time after traveling is not just about unpacking, doing laundry, and getting over jet lag (OR lag or any kind). It’s about un-everything-ing.
