We will be in Dallas TX tonight and tomorrow morning and then next Saturday and Sunday in Pekin, IL. (Links can be found in our sidebar under Speaking Schedule.)

Two noteworthy deaths this week: Madeleine L’Engle and James Kennedy.
TechQuestion: Why can’t I click “reply” to e-mails that come to me from hotmail.com and get them to go through?

3. Speaking of schools, I read this week that Illinois State’s Marketing students are expected to dress professionally when they come to class. Any thoughts?

8. Thanks to Marko.
9. Bonus Video: Chicago’s literary all-stars reflect on Chicago.
10. I can tell you were the missing honey bees are … in our backyard on our hummingbird feeders!
