Travel

Even though my flight does not leave until, essentially, early evening, I am already in Indianapolis.

My objective in Indy was to stop by Out Word Bound Books to pick up the latest mystery by Anthony Bidulka, Stain of the Berry. Bilduka, the gay Canadian author I discovered last summer, is not readily available at […]

Indy Pride

After being uncertain about my willingness to attend Indy Pride, I threw all caution to the wind, and headed north with Mateo and Chaz to the Circle City and it’s 2007 Pride.

This is my second pride event in the United States; the first was Fort Wayne Pride a few years back and was down […]

B2B: Berlin to Bloomington

I can’t say that my trip to Bloomington was super exciting—as I write this I am somewhere over Northern Indiana heading toward my final air destination, Indianapolis.

Pretty much the entire trip was uneventful in a good way. My train from Weimar to Berlin was relatively sedate (the passengers, that is). While taking the S-Bahn […]

Good, Bad, Ugly

I’m home, back in Germany, without any major problems—both of my flights were early. Door-to-door, including shopping and eating in Indy before the trip, took 18 and a half hours.

Good

I got a whole lot of work done. Unfortunately I have a boatload of headaches to deal with related to a project this week.

Major Mistakes

Since leaving Indiana for Germany, Indiana elected a new Governor from the Republican Party, My Man Mitch Daniels.

Since taking office, Daniels has managed to do exactly one good thing: convince the legislature to enact a day light savings program. Of course he fucked it up when he left it to the federal government to […]

Atheist at the Church

The first time I ever felt like an atheist at the church was when I first visited the Indianapolis Speedway—home of the Indy 500, the Brickyard 400, and (maybe) the US Formula 1 Grand Prix.

I still remember the trip quite clearly: I was searching for […]

Indy–Talbott Street

Yesterday, after I dropped The Kid off at the airport, and waited for the plane to take off, I returned to Bloomington, got dressed, picked up Mateo, and then headed up to Indy for an evening of fun and entertainment.

We started at Aesop’s Table where we met Mike for dinner. Mike had driven down […]

Heute

Today I will be heading up to IUPUI to do some work and then enjoying a baseball game in the evening with my friend Kevin. Assuming it doesn’t rain in Indy.

It’s raining here in Evansville.

I’m also planning to eat at Yats.

Yum!
