I’ve looked at about two dozen (maybe more) homes and condos in Indianapolis this weekend. My realtor and I are worn out.

I found a two-bedroom condo in Eagle Creek, which is the west side of Indy, that I like. I’m making an offer right now. It’s all moving pretty fast, but I need it to. I’m hoping to have a place to live when I move here in late April.

Naturally, I’ll try to describe it all in more detail when I get the chance to. We’re faxing the offer now, might even counter-offer later this afternoon, all in time for my flight home at 8 p.m.

I almost forgot to tell you the big news. I will be returning to Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, in Indianapolis, to serve as their director of technology. I’m flying there this weekend to look for housing. I’ll leave more specifics sometime next week.

Big announcements are soon to come. Job change? Moving? Big purchase? Stay tuned.

A few months ago, I discovered the music of Nick Drake (1948-1974). He produced only three albums, but they are rare gems.

With 7,500 songs on my iPod, I can’t stop listening to his work. I’ll even pick one of his songs and have it loop five or six times. I never do that. I’m always on shuffle mode. But when Nick Drake pops up, he never fails — I’ll find myself listening to him until the batteries die.

If you care to learn more about Nick Drake, RollingStone and VH1 have two good biographies. If you want to learn even more, just search for him, for he has a lot of fans who are even more captivated than I.

My folks got stuck in an elevator this weekend attending the symphony.

“At the symphony tonight we took the elevator during intermission and were stuck in it (along with 20 folks) for about 30 minutes. The firemen came and rescued us. We were between floors. They put a ladder down into the elevator so we could climb out! Excitement!” –Mom”

Though I’ve never been stuck in an elevator, I once got stuck on the escalator when it stopped inbetween floors. It wasn’t quite as exciting, for the firemen just walked up and showed us how to walk back down.

So mom, what all did the 20 of you talk about or do for 30 mintues?
