Listen to my full playlist below and enjoy the ride! American Girl – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers I was face down, on my futon, in Cary Quad at Purdue when I first heard this song. I was barely conscious because of all the STUDYING I WAS DOING for my upcoming examinations. I was soon […]

I suggest we turn E. 38th St. into a gravel road instead of just closing it for road work. Why not? In addition, we’ll […]
It’s pandemonium time in downtown Indianapolis this week. Expect wandering caravans of Crimson Tide fans to drift in and out of crosswalks like a herd of elephants crossing the Namid Desert. Expect Georgia fans to jaywalk through intersections with their nubby little bulldog legs. It’s a joy – all these guests and national attention. Welcome! […]
I ingest seven and-a-half baking cups of construction dust a day, solidifying my status as a downtown resident. I live next to the North Split construction zone – ground zero of the outbreak that killed off half of our roads – where I’m serenaded daily by the rhythmic stylings of head jackhammer’s rendition of “Recess […]

I was driving to […]
