Sure do! And loving every minute that I get to spend in the gardens. Next year, I'm starting a Micro Farm. The gardening/Micro Farm bug bit me hard. :)

We bought a house this summer and I spent the last couple of months ripping out woody weeds, building a huge compost area, and preparing the very depleted soil for planting. I plan on planting a small fruit grove, vegetables and berries. Anyone el...

How's it done? Seems to have been an odd year - basil seems to have been very slow.

I would like to see more voluntary creative re-use of urban space. I've never seen the appeal of poorly-built suburban developments and life among the strip malls. There is a surplus of residential/commercial real estate in Marion Co. and more tha...

The designer behind Taste’s expansion and renovation as well as th… Continue

CrossFit Day Two: Pain don't hurt



I've been walking like an old freakin' man since Saturday morning, which didn't give me a lot of hope for my 30s. CrossFit is always nasty but its especially so when your body isn't accustomed to the work load. I hobbled around all weekend with soreness and stiffness in my quads, hamstring and groin, wincing every time I sat down, stood up, or walked up or down stairs. Bosslady aka Indy.com editrix in chief Amanda Kingsbury went as far as to tell me that CrossFit makes me cran… Continue

Colt, the head brewer at the RAM downtown, resigned on April 2 to pursue the business of happiness with his good friend and former employee Clay Robinson as co-ow… Continue

Here Comes the Sun: Baby steps

“We’re relatively serious about this now in case you didn’t notice,” Omar Robinson said. A fine layer of concrete dust coats the floor inside the chilly warehouse that will become Sun King Brewery. The ambulance service’s trucks have been moved out of the room as has a custom party bus that was parked in the corner.

Omar’s son Clay Robinson explains to me that the cuts have been made for plumbing not just for the brewhouse… Continue

The guy from Sun Belt sent me an e-mail about putting his beer in the Vollrath. I haven’t had an opportunity to reach-out back to him but I am interested...

What are your thoughts?

Hey Neal,

It's been a bit... What sort of writing projects are you working on now?

I can’t get Tweets or Facebook with any regularity where I reside at the moment; I am surprised I have access to this site…

Take care,

BA

Hey Neal! I'm sure you've been to a Naptown Roller Girls bout while on the beat. If you're a fan, I've created a fan group here in SI.
