I'm writing a chapter that is due in 24 hours, so I've been glued to my black box for an unhealthy period of time. My favorite distraction is, of course, gmail. Since I barely get any email (hint, hint), I've started to pay undue attention to the sponsored and suggested links at the top of my inbox. It's a little scary to think of complex algorithms parsing my email for words and phrases that reveal my consumption and other habits.
A review of the most recent links:
"Neuro-Leadership - http://www.raoleadership.com/ - Exceptional leaders tap into their amygdala and frontal lobe" Why me? The text is mysterious enough to make you want to click. Apparently, I can learn how to exercise the underdeveloped parts of my brain to become a better 'feeler' and herd leader.
"What's Wrong With a Messy Desk?" (a non-ad link to an article on about.com) would be more on target if I were working at a desk.
And, finally, a winner - "Journeys: Chicago's New Wave of Microbrews" - an article I read two days ago, since the New York Times is my #2 form of procrastination.
In sum, please come visit me so we can visit the hip breweries! I will introduce you to city and suburban delights. At the very least, email me with news or cute photos of your pet. Or your sister's pet. You get the idea.

Check out Two Brothers over in Warrenville. While I don't still live in the area, they've actually gotten quite a few accolades outside the Chi-town area. I've been there once and had their beers 3-4 times, and they're quite good.
I know Mark Hutchison and Tony Kresl both head that way on a regular basis, and would probably enjoy hearing from you if you're in town...
(Let me know if you need Mark's contact info -- I have his and he'd definitely have Tony's).
Hi Brad,
Thanks for the tip! Mark is my FB friend... I'll send him a note to suggest a Two Bros rendezvous.
Cheers, Cindy
