Now, not to make a bunch of Bloomingtonians mad…but my favorite Mexican restaurant is not in Bloomington, IN. It is in Brownstown, IN a far cry from Mexico, but WOW what a find. Growing up in CA, taking many family vacations all over Mexico and going to college in San Diego, spending a [...]
I don’t know about you, but I am so excited about His Holiness The Dalai Lama arriving this week in Bloomington, IN. How lucky are we? What a spiritual icon! I’ve wanted to see him for years and it has never worked out so I am just [...]
After first moving to Southern Indiana, I decided I needed to know what attractions, sites, events, restaurants, cultural happenings, natural phenomena existed to explore in the area. I started researching various books, magazines & visitors bureaus along with inquiring amongst the locals about what to check out…”must do’s for a newcomer”.

I moved to Bloomington in August of 2008, coming from Brownstown, IN and before that all over CA for most of my whole life. Within a week of actually moving to Indiana, I really discovered Bloomington…I had seen it before on vacations but didn’t really get to explore it like you do when you [...]
There is really no excuse not to exercise or just get out and about in Bloomington even in the winter months and especially if you are willing to broaden your horizons a little bit.

I just about freaked out when I saw the Human Footprint video in a class I was taking. I had never really thought about it in that way. Actually breaking down one’s consumption of products starting at day 1, yikes. I mean laying out every single product ever consumed by a single [...]
