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. (Sable)

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.

  • Sales: Your zip code's 47906. Where's that?
  • Me: Indiana.
  • Sales: So you're a Colts fan?
  • Me: That, too.
  • Sales: I'm sorry, we can't help you. Bears fans here.
  • Me: I just want an iPhone.
  • Sales: Let's check your contract. You aren't eligible for an upgrade until September. If you want an iPhone, it'll be $700.
  • Me: That's interesting. The AT&T store said I'd be eligible for upgrade pricing today.
  • Sales: Well, at most they'll take a few bucks off.
  • Me: How do you mean? Help me understand.
  • Sales: It might be less, but it won't be upgrade pricing.
  • Me: Well. I'll head to the AT&T store and check with them again.
  • Sales: You are? It's not going to be any different.
  • Me: It's only a few blocks away. Thanks for your help.

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Brandon McHose. Someday soon, we’ll be paying a lot of money to see him perform. In the meantime, he teaches lessons, in case you’d like to learn how to be your own Guitar Hero (he rocks at that, too). (Dick’s Last Resort)
