Weekend Notes
Some quick weekend notes. I’m going to try to really let the content flow this week. So be prepared either to read a lot or be disappointed if I only crank out a couple posts. Home For The Summer I went down to Cincinnati Friday morning to pack up M for the summer. She had called me Thursday night to…
Weekend Notes
A super busy weekend, with plenty of time in the car. Kid Hoops L had her first, big, out-of-town tournament as a high schooler in Cincinnati. It was a three-day deal, and we had booked two nights in a hotel. Then we got the schedule which had our first game at 12:30 Friday and our second at 6:30 Saturday night.…
Weekend Notes
A pretty solid weekend around our house. Enough went on that I will divide this into two parts. Smaller items in this post, a bigger post to come tomorrow. After a crappy four days of rain and steadily decreasing temps, the weekend was gorgeous here in Indy. Sunday it got into the 80s for the first time this year. We…
Weekend Notes
Eclipse Well, I feel silly. I’ve been making fun of all the preparations and build-up for the eclipse since 2024 began. I laughed out loud when I saw t-shirts on racks in grocery stores and in pop-up stands at busy traffic corners. I shook my head when I heard that roughly a million people were expected to visit Central Indiana…
Weekend Notes
It was a three-day weekend at CHS. Which was good since L and I started the weekend off early. Caitlin-palooza I took L and one of her hoops buddies down to Bloomington Thursday night for the Iowa-Indiana game. This was my first time in Assembly Hall 2003. Our seats were better for that game. We were UP THERE! We arrived…
Holiday Wrap Up
I dropped our Denver relatives off at the airport early this morning and returned to a quieter and emptier house than we’ve had in about ten days. The decorations are still up and the college kid is still with us, but the holiday season has ended. We had a busy and mostly fun week-plus of holiday celebrations. S’s brother from…
Wednesday Notes
A good, old fashioned notes dump like the old days. CHS Lockdown There was a lockdown for about an hour at Cathedral yesterday. Apparently someone called 911 claiming to be inside the school with a gun. About a million cops showed up and no person with a gun was ever found. We live in wonderful times, friends. Our girls seemed…
Weekend Notes
We had a super-busy Saturday that featured a lot of L’s for our family. Fortunately, for me, the one dub was a big one. Throwing hoops and real life together, our family went 1–7 for the day. Cathedral lost JV and varsity games. More on that tomorrow. S’s Hoosiers lost to Auburn. M’s previously undefeated Bearcats lost to Xavier. The…
Holiday Weekend Notes
For the first time in three years we were home for Thanksgiving week. We packed a lot in, and it deserves a wide-ranging, extra-long breakdown. College Visitor I picked M up Tuesday around noon after her last scheduled class of the week. We grabbed lunch at Hangover Easy, a place just off campus I’ve wanted to try just because of…
Weekend Notes
It was a pretty good fall break/long weekend around our house. It included another trip to Cincinnati, a new family toy, and a variety of news on the high school sports front. Let’s dive into the details. CHS Fall Break C and L were off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for their fall break. L had basketball practice all three days…
