Back from Indy


The WBCA convention and Final Four was a little different this year. Indianapolis is a great city to host such an event and you can tell they are used to doing it up big in most areas. The convention center is enormous, probably big enough to hold several conventions at once. It was very cold, rainy, and windy the whole time we were there. Thankfully I was inside learning some new stuff and could use the skywalk to get to the center. The games were exciting and who would have thought anybody but Connecticut, Stanford, or Tennessee would be in it. Good for those teams that surely believed in themselves and fought through lots of adversity. Conseco Fieldhouse was rocking with Notre Dame in the Championship--green everywhere. And, of course, Saturday night the whole city was wild with Butler advancing to the men's championship.

I participated in the 4Kay run/walk on Saturday morning in 30-degree temps. It was at the Indianapolis Speedway. I was elated to get a chance to walk that monster track being the Nascar fan that I am. The 2.5 mile track was impressive.
