It’s that time of year again; the Special Olympics of 2010 have begun. And before the first competition could start, the torch had to travel from Victory Field in Indianapolis to Indiana State University’s campus in Terre Haute. That’s about an hour and fifteen minute drive… but really, that’d be too easy. Instead, the brave...
I first met Katie in the Fall of 2000. A bright young girl with a love for animals, a gentle heart and a super smile. I became her Big Sister that year, and on many occasions thereafter we took enjoyment in shopping trips, movie-going, bowling and pumpkin carving. I took her along to some of...
It’s almost sad that we need a special day to show respect to those who risk everything to keep us safe and free. It really should be an everyday thing to show our respect. But if anyone deserves a holiday dedicated to them it’s the men and women of our armed forces. Enjoy this Memorial...

Interested consumers...
Kurtis finished his 5th Mini-Marathon, setting a PR (personal record) of 1:44.02! Great run, KB. I couldn’t believe I found him on today’s front page! I ran vicariously through him and through the strong and smooth, gazelle-like gliders who first broke the finish-line tape. I have to admit I got choked up watching…the crowd was...
It’s May. It’s Spring. (2010 is flying by…eeks!) The temperature is rising. It’s also the month where our lovely city hosts the world’s greatest race – The Indianapolis 500! Really, it is an incredible spectacle and gets me so fired up. We are lucky to have such a monumental tradition. And we are also lucky...
It has indeed! And it’s been beautiful. This is one of my favorite times of the year…I love the fresh blossoms, the deep greens and other colors of new life. I’ve been noticing more and more growth around our yard. I decided to grab our macro lens (a lens specifically designed to focus at very...
