I miss the seasons and the beauty of the midwest but many (not all) places lack character. The midwest has the best schools (Purdue, Notre Dame, Michigan, you all know them) and the best work ethic. One thing Texas lacks "A hard days work for a hard earned dollar". My son who is six lost his tooth so we left 8 quarters under his pillow as it was his first and he came home to tell us his friends get $20. Twenty bucks for a tooth, maybe we will move back to old fashioned values...  |
I can thing of 2 boarding schools near South Bend .. hmmmmmm
I think I got a quarter for regular teeth and 50 cents for a molar. Now we give a buck a tooth ... 20 dollars??? You gotta be kidding me. Yes, come back to reality!

Culver Academies and no I was not a problem child...well I was a problem but I never got caught. 
I love Texas weather and activities. The whole Jonesey attitude is not in all areas I happen to live in a nice area for the great schools and it is hard to teach kids values. Values is one thing that is still top notch in the midwest. |

That's one of the nicer terms I've heard. Funny thing I am now married to a "Townie" from Bourbon Indiana whom I met at Purdue. I was fortunate to have the Culver experience. I hope to send my kids there but tuition is $$$$$.  |

Oh brother, I probably know him .. I'm from Bremen ... ha!
Yes, you are very lucky to have gone to such a great school. It's quite a gem for the state. Most of the girls I befriended there ended up at Brown or Princeton. They also have the best long distance high school runner at CGA. She's going to Princeton in the fall.

Haven't posted here in nearly a year, but I'd thought I'd chime in for this one.
My answer is yes. Went to college in Indianapolis and loved it. Would've stayed if not for this job I have now.
