Sometimes sports journo, sometimes comms pro, always a maker. Love Chicago. Probably making a Taskmaster or Murder, She Wrote joke. I won't answer any questions you can Google. I'm here for conversation, not debate. I mute whining about officials.

I have been enjoying this show but she has every right to be angry. There is zero nuance to the Daryl Hannah character. She is just played as every Hollywood stereotype in one convenient package.

Every single time I have an asthma flare-up I think, nah, won't need prednisone this time.

So anyway, I'm on prednisone so I pre-apologize for pretty much everything.

I saw that they have the Verve Pipe opening for them, too! Pete and I saw them at Sausage Fest (lol) a while back and they were great.

Stupid trade deadline.

Sybaris Pool Suites Shirt Our ode to Sybaris Pool Suites, the most iconic romantic experience Chicagoland has to offer.

Did you get ads? The one in Chicago is in a suburb and the ads were hilarious. One of the local t-shirt companies even made these: chitownclothing.com/products/syb...

"Have we seen a rise in positive tests? Yes. Have we seen an overwhelming run on our hospitals because of hospitalizations? No," Mullin said, despite health care and hospital leaders across the state stressing for weeks that intensive care units in Oklahoma are operating at, near or sometimes over capacity and some hospitals are constructing overflow tents.

Markwayne Mullin once prompted me to include the most fact-checking hyperlinks in any single sentence I've ever published

As a Cubs fan, I get it. If I were a Sox fan I'd likely disengage, the way I have with the Bulls, but I cannot ever imagine changing my allegiance.

Column: Jason Benetti’s new gig as voice of β€˜Sunday Night Baseball’ yet another blemish for Chicago White Sox It’s safe to say letting Jason Benetti leave the Chicago White Sox TV booth in 2024 was the organization’s biggest mistake since letting Harry Caray depart for WGN-Ch. 9 and the Cubs in…

There’s no vacancy at Hotel Chocolat, but plenty of hot chocolate at the growing Chicago-based British import Purchased by Mars two years ago, Hotel Chocolat may soon be expanding beyond Chicago, bringing elevated drinking chocolate and candy to markets across the country

There's a chain called Hotel Chocolat that's in the UK and a few places in the US, and the CEO recently said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune that "Chocolate is a category that is ripe for disruption." and I hate him so much. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/13/h...

None of these guys look like they love eating burgers. They look like MBA types who got into the burger business for money. Now Dave Thomas, that was a guy who looked obsessed with giving you the greatest square-patty burger you could ever imagine at an extremely good price.
