Good Stuff
Freakonomics. Inner-city crack gangs really do have a corporate ladder. Having a swimming pool in your backyard makes you the envy of all your neighbors, but it also sets you up as a prime target for wrongful death lawsuits. If your name is Kayla, Stephanie or Billy, chances are your parents are less-educated than if your name is Ascher, Katharine, or Dov. Highly recommended summer reading that takes the dismalness out of the dismal science.
The New Pornographers. Infectuous, and dare I say even slightly danceable, I got my grubby paws on an advance copy of their new album last week and it's been getting tons of airtime on the iPod ever since.
Chicago weather today. Low 80s, not humid and sunny with some high cirrus clouds. Why can't every day be like this?
