This should be the hottest day of the year so far in Indianapolis. So far, 84 has been the magic number. We hit it on March 21, April 3, and that’s where the thermometer stopped yesterday. It was three degrees shy of the record. (And my forecast.) I think there will be less clouds around […]

It was just as cold and windy as it was supposed to be Saturday. The Kenyans asked me to stay out of the Mini Marathon this year so they’d have a better shot, and their plan seems to have paid off. Hope you had a good walk/run if you participated. My running partner (aka my […]
