Cache of the Day - New digs

After having lived in the really cool town of Bloomington for the past four years, I'm headed north to Indianapolis, the Big City, and the location of my new job at FlashPoint.

I never thought I'd live in a downtown area, always enjoyed more rural locations, but this is a rather exciting turn of events.  I love the energy of the city, the diversity of the people, the culture, the history, the renewal that the city has experienced.

 

FlashPoint sits above Georgia Street, which is in the process of being redesigned as a pedestrian entertainment area.  I have been catalogging the transformation of the street and have provided a couple of pictures here.

I've also signed the lease on a loft as of today. Here are some pics of the new location, which I'll move into next month.

I'm looking forward to this new adventure!

Cache of the Day - World Equestrian Games

Like the Olympics, the World Equestrian Games showcases horse athletes from throughout the world, and we had a chance to experience them on Saturday, October 2 in Lexington, Kentucky.

I've been waiting for this event for years and they finally arrived!  I purchased my tickets for the Cross Country segment of the "Eventing" event six months ago, and the day finally arrived!

The horses were MAGNIFICENT and the jumps were spectacular, like nothing I've ever seen before.  And there was much more to do - visiting exhibits and seeing the Hall of Champions and browsing through the museums.

I wish I could have seen all the games, but this small taste was well worth it.

Cache of the Day - Horse Mania

I LOVE Lexington, Kentucky.  I love it because it is The Horse Capital of the World and I LOVE horses.

My trip to Lexington was for business - I was conducting a Leadership training course for a client nearby - but I made sure we got some time to enjoy,well, horses.

Next weekend we'll be going to the World Equestrian Games, something I have been waiting for for YEARS!  More on that to come soon.  In the meantime, the city is preparing with Horse Mania, a public art project that decorates the streets of Lexington.  Throughout the city are life-size fiberglass horses, decorated by artists.  There are nearly 100 throughout the city, and we got to see a small portion of them.

So exciting and a great preview to the Games next weekend!
