Years ago when Mike Pence bailed on President Trump at a critical juncture after the last Presidential election, I thought that perhaps I would never again have anything to do with Indiana. My poor opinion of Indiana was only further downgraded by the non-actions of Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana as Biden’s Secretary of Transportation.
Many years back my wife and I liked to watch American Idol and then years later, The Voice. This year it is AGT (America’s Got Talent) mainly because of Richard Goodall, a janitor from Terre Haute, Indiana. Mr. Goodall is a humble middle-aged guy, but, wow!, can he sing. Ergo, my faith in Indiana has been partially restored, as he is now in the finals.
In addition however, my other new favorite is also now from Indiana … Caitlin Clark. For those unaware, Caitlin Clark is a rookie on the WNBA’s Indianapolis Fever. Just about every morning I read about her latest accomplishments and watch her demonstrate her amazing basketball skills. And in addition, watching Caitlin Clark play live has been added to my very short bucket list.
So after listening to Richard Goodall and watching Caitlin Clark, my faith in the state of Indiana has been restored.
