Not so with a horse named Journalism at the Preakness Stakes. He was all about patience. As Mark Robichaux writes, "...we all remember the kids who seemed to have it all figured out at 17. But time has a way of revealing what matters. Some of us come from behind."

I took three side trips to revisit three universities: Indiana University in Bloomington, Purdue University in West Lafayette and Rose Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute. Each one is an hour from Indy, an easy car ride.
