May Rain

 Hello all. Do we really need all this rain? Maybe we do. What do I know? It just seems like a lot.

Did you know that all high school spring sports are outdoor sports except boys volleyball? Golf, tennis, lacrosse, softball, baseball, and track & field.

May is a good month though. I don’t say that just because I was born in May, although some have said May would not be the same without me.

 A lot happens in May. Mother’s Day, May Day, and Cinco de Mayo.

Thousands of kids graduate from high school and thousands of kids graduate from college which means thousands of graduation parties.

Of course, it is the month of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the NBA Championships, and the beginning of the season for the Indiana Fever. I am a big Caitlin Clark fan. I think my wife is jealous of her.

And let’s not forget this newspaper was born in May.

“Busman’s Holiday”

Have you ever heard of the term? I remember hearing my Dad using the term growing up, but being a kid uninterested in non-kid things, I never asked him what it meant.

A “busman’s holiday” is an idiom for time off, where a person engages in activities closely resembling their regular job, like a chef, who experiments with new complicated recipes on their day off.

Today, I’m taking one from writing this week’s column. Currently I am ‘working’ on an idea that I shared with some of our guests at last Friday’s open house. (Thanks to everyone who visited and participated; that means more to us than you know).

I don’t want to share a lot of the details at this time, as that would defeat the purpose of taking a holiday, but know I have been listening to you.

So, I’m going to go now but here’s a few pictures from the Open House. Enjoy.

By the way…

            Over 80,000 election guides were mailed to Hendricks County residences this spring and voter turnout in Hendricks County was 3% higher than the last midterm primary. Coincidence?
