Good luck with all the many parts of that. I lived in Indy for about 5 years {grad school] and liked it pretty well most of the time. BillR

To more or less let the cat out of the bag, the family and I will be returning to Indianapolis (our hometown) this summer to take over partnership in a business I was formerly a part of. My formerly former partner is about 10 years my senior, and he has recently come to the realization that there is, in fact, life outside of the business. As a result I will be returning to gradually take over the business so he and his brother can segue out of it and begin to enjoy a life of leisure while I work myself to death... <grin> The nature of my relocation is such that I expect to be "house rich" due to the grossly inflated home values here in Florida, resulting in a lot a equity that I have to do something with or take my lifetime capital gains tax. That, coupled with significantly lower home prices in Indianapolis and environs, makes for a good deal for us when it comes to finding a house. Add in the current market situation, and you couldn't ask for a better chance to do some serious negotiating. While we haven't looked at it in detail, I suspect we will end up with a large home and some land, possibly. Even if that doesn't work out, the business has a large piece of property that would lend itself to a nice gathering. We're on Country Club Road just north of West 10th Street, if you're interested in location. There are lots of nice things to see in the immediate area, (500 Speedway, Children's Museum, etc.) so it would be an ideal place to have a gathering, especially for those who might want to include family members. Now all I have to do is find an MB....

I mean, it is the crossroads of America after all. Equally distant from all peoples, except the smelly hippies in CA, they have a mountain range or seven in the way.
