this city

recently, some friends and i were talking over drinks about their bucket lists. i don't really have one. nothing really seems that important to me that it's imperative i do it before i die. i want to love some people well. hopefully lots of people. that's about it. 

anyways, i do have an "indianapolis bucket list" and here it is:

1. go duck pin bowling in fountain square (this was accomplished over the weekend for steve's 30th birthday!)

2. attend the indy 500

3. eat at city market 

4. go to a colts game

5. go the indiana state fair (i missed it this year)

6. eat at bub's burgers in carmel which has been featured on man vs. food - i've already been once, but it was the best burger i've ever eaten in my life so once is not enough

7. take j to the children's museum

8. take j to the indianapolis zoo

9. catch an indianapolis indians game (minor league baseball)

i'm sure i'll be crossing things off this list and adding new things all the time. my job takes me all over the city. to every nook on every side of town. i meet a lot of crazy people. i see a lot of good and bad, but mostly bad. i don't mind though. i love indianapolis and i think i love it more because of the bad i see. i feel like i know her well. not just the cute pretty parts you want to show your friends, but i feel like i really know indianapolis.and i want to know more. as much as i can. and we're really just beginning here...
