For those of you wondering what I’ve been up to over the past week or so (and for the next week), I’ve been out at Indianapolis Motor Speedway covering the 2011 Indianapolis 500 activities for our sister company, Surge Bucket Media, and specifically Naptown Buzz.

I’ve been blogging, podcasting & taking a lot of photos. Feel free to have a read, listen & look when you have a minute.

Note: this post will be updated through the conclusion of the race.

My Baby Girl Is 7 Today

by Brian Groce on March 20, 2011

in Brian's Blogs,Never Picture Perfect

I’m shaking my head in disbelief. Disbelief that the years have been flying by so quickly. Seven years ago today my daughter was born.

I’ll never forget the emotion that overtakes you the moment that bundle of joy bursts forth into this world. As first time parents you suddenly have another person to take care of & guide into adulthood.

The road ahead seems so long from that moment, but as reality sets in it proves to be a mere blink of the eye.  You look back and see where you’ve been & what you’ve been through and can recount where the time went and how those hair changes and wrinkles came to be.

But you wouldn’t trade any of it, regardless how difficult certain aspects may have been.  We’re family, and thick or thin, we’re all in it together.

So as I wish my baby girl a happy seventh birthday, here’s to hoping that what the future holds is bright and that daddy does his very best to guide you along the way.

What? A guy can’t dress up as Bigfoot & have a good time? Come on!

CONCORD, N.H. – A performance artist who dressed as Bigfoot says state park rangers didn’t have the right to kick him off a mountain where he had been scaring, or at least amusing, hikers while friends videotaped him.

When Doyle returned with a small band of costumed friends to film “The Capture of Bigfoot,” they were captured themselves, sort of. Monadnock park manager Patrick Hummel interrupted the skit and barred them from filming, saying Doyle needed a permit.

Confound You DST!!!

by Brian Groce on March 14, 2011

in Blue Shotgun,Brian's Blogs

Well, it happened again.  And I’m complaining about it again. Daylight Saving Time (DST) kicked in yesterday and is rearing it’s ugly still head today.

Here’s my take:

  • 1/3 of the year is “standard” time, 2/3 of the year is not. This makes no sense to me.
  • If you want to change it, fine, but do it once and be done with it. Let’s spring ahead forever.
  • Here in Indiana we’re already way off from “sun time” the way it is & now the sun will be up until 10pm in the summer. Which is great…if you don’t have kids that you’re trying to convince that it’s nighttime. How about we switch from the Eastern Time Zone to the Central Time Zone?

That’s the gist of my thoughts on DST & Time Zones.  What are yours?
