…my new home:
According to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill the number one reason you should bother to write a good introduction is because you never get a second chance to make a first impression. I hope I succeeded in writing a good introduction of my new home.
It lies in the Indianapolis neighborhood known as Williams Creek. I have famous neighbors in the area — Peyton Manning lives around the corner in Meridian Hills. Continue reading ‘I would like to introduce…’

Spurred by the torrential rainstorms that have recently plagued Indiana and the number of responses we’ve received from Angie’s List members concerning our Green Living Issue — both positive and negative — I’ve been giving global warming some thought…
I’ve decided that, regardless of which side of the global warming camp you’re on, or if you’re camping at all, there should be no denying that something is causing the earth’s weather patterns to go absolutely haywire. Continue reading ‘A stealthy ride to greener living…’

You’d think after living in central Indiana my entire life I’d be used to our weather. But it never fails to surprise me with tornadoes, thunderstorms, destroyed power lines and overflowing basements.

When we started doing research for our green issue, I didn’t know much about building a “green” house. I figured if you turned the lights off when you left a room and turned the water off while you brushed your teeth, you were doing your part to help the environment.

With all this buzz surrounding sustainable living and eco-friendly practices, I bet some of you had forgotten: green is actually a color. NBC devoted a whole week to going green, Al Gore mysteriously pops up in front of every camera on Earth and Angie’s List magazine just printed our “Green Issue,” exploring everything from LEED-certified houses to green products for the home.
It seems everywhere you turn, green’s a buzz word that’s being used. And there’s a reason. While many promote green as a way to save the environment, it seems the true catalyst in this current movement is economics.
