Thanks Mother Nature for finally bringing in the cold weather. This means that the overflow of door-to-door knockers in Broadripple will slow to just an annoying drip. They range in age, race, character and time of day, but they all want the same thing. Money. Stop knocking on doors and interrupting mothers from tending to their children, family dinners, and naps in the afternoon. Find yourselves a meaningful source of income that is beneficial to the community rather than an annoying it.
I spend a decent amount of time working out. I like to run or bike on the Monon around the Broad Ripple area and I also workout at the local YMCA. No workout is complete without tunes… I have a variety of music I like to listen to. But lately I've become very puzzled. What are the old people listening to? I see lots of older people with Ipods or MP3 players and I also ponder "what are they listening to." My 50 year old mother doesn't know how to open or send a text message let alone download music onto a computer and then upload it onto an Ipod. This cool hip thing that so many people are strutting around town with has now caught up with the old folk. I'm amazed. Did they do it themselves or ask their 18 year old grandson Johnny to help when he stopped by one afternoon? And if they did, was Johnny as puzzled as I am? How did they get it, and what are they listening to?
There is a nasty case of the Croup Virus going around Indy. I suspect my child picked it up at the Jordan Y. It's kind of scary if you don't know the warning signs. Oh and don't take your kid to daycare if they are sick, it's disrespectful and irresponsible.
