Vote in indy.
October 10, 2008
Does anyone else remember going to the polls with their parents? I know I always went with my mom, it was held at my Jr. High. I also remember when polling locations were held at my elementary school. How cool were those little booths that people got to go into, close the little curtain an mark up their own little "test" where it was impossible to get the wrong answer, as long as you answered Read more...

'tis the state fair season
August 07, 2008
Did you know that we have one of the largest state fairs in the nation right here in Indianapolis? Growing up we always made our annual trip to the state fair.

To me the state fair seems to be a rite of passage for every family. Last year was our first year taking Read more...
Baseball at victory field.
July 29, 2008
I remember going to my first baseball game when I was about 6. It was the Anaheim Angels and my uncle bought me a slushee in a big plastic mug.

The stadium is beautiful, and depending on when you get Read more...
An artistic trip to china

I don't know if any of you were able to make it to the Drums of West Africa concert at the City Market on Friday, but it was a spectacular opportunity to expose my daughter and some of her friends to a beautiful art from from another country. It opened up discussions on what animals live in Africa, what they eat and how they live. She even found an enormous map at a store and asked "Hey, where's Read more...
