Montana-born & Indiana-raised, I champion positive youth development by day and fixate on food at http://middlewestmeals.blogspot.com by night. Music, movies, party-throwing, and creative ventures fill my remaining hours and mental space.
My great joys are friends, books, thrift-store deals, magazines, restaurants, tunes, miniature anythings, and super-sharp embroidery scissors. My great loves are the common good, my husband, and my kitties. My great hates are people who tailgate, waste, self-seriousness, and insincerity.
I love Indianapolis from all its angles and make it a choice to live here. You have to keep it real here, and that's a good thing.
