Sable has my favorite lobster roll in Chicago. Hands-down, headline news. Not too much mayonnaise, buttered bread, and a kick of citrus when you bite down. I usually order a burger, or a flatbread, which explains why it took so long to figure this out. But The Roll. Let me say to you.

This is a righteous sandwich.

If you live in Chicago, one place you could spend Friday morning is New York’s Bryant Park. I love the way my friends think.

On the first nice day in New York, I’ll be on the first flight to Shake Shack.

ZIP disks and I have a long history. I used these hand-held magnetized wonders thru high school and college for publishing. They were a big thing amongst creatives, because 100 megabytes of storage was a big deal. Or I could learn to rely on the four gigs of bits and bytes I get from Dropbox.

Yep. This sums it up.

Running past this scene yesterday made me wonder if two lovers had been buried beneath these trees.

Last year’s ChicagoTEN Alumni Challenge brought 2,000 people. Wow. Planning for the 2012 crawl through River North begins Wednesday at 9 p.m. Get there at 9! RSVP! See you… when I see you. YES.

Update: Above, I wrote Wednesday. I meant Thursday! My bad.

What we, or at any rate what I, refer to confidently as memory - meaning a moment, a scene, a fact that has been subjected to a fixative and thereby rescued from oblivion - is really a form of storytelling that goes on continually in the mind and often changes with the telling. Too many conflicting emotional interests are involved for life ever to be wholly acceptable, and possibly it is the work of the storyteller to rearrange things so that they conform to this end. In any case, in talking about the past we lie with every breath we draw - William Maxwell, author of ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’

Jim Cramer: “But there was one ad that struck me as the most honest, most riveting and most compelling of all. You see, the game had just ended, and Colts great Raymond Berry ran the Giant gantlet with the Lombardi Trophy. Suddenly it seemed like every other Giant pulled out an Apple iPhone to snap pictures of the moment. One after another after another. And I said to myself, there it is, not some pet dangling a bag of chips or some headlights killing vampires or King Elton getting trapdoored. Nope, there was an ad worthy of Steve Jobs and the company he built.”

Dose Market is this Sunday, February 12. That’s April, one of its four founding muses, in red, green, and blue. Early comic books and video games were also in R, G, and B, which in a way, makes her some kind of fashionable feminine super-heroine. As a tastemaker, she’s one of my heroes, and perhaps she could be one of yours, too.
