Chicago’s Green Mill is one of the city’s classic joints for jazz. Capone used to hang out here, and there are still underground bootlegging tunnels beneath the bar. A place I’ll miss for sure!
The big event of the week for me is, unsurprisingly, my move to San Francisco. I’m on the road at present and should be arriving by Sunday afternoon. I can’t wait!
Book I’m reading: Platform by Michael Hyatt – A modern classic of a business book about how to stand out in this overly saturated world.
Trip I’m planning: Monterrey with the wife. I’ve never been and everyone raves about it. The first of many weekend trips around California, no doubt.
Netflix show I’m watching: Dexter… for the millionth time. Plus the great Ken Burns series The West.
Hike I’m planning: Mount Tamalpais in Marin.
Current dream vacation: Southeast Asia—Thailand, Laos, Vietnam.
Current frustration: Driving across the Great Plains. Why so boring?
Blog post to check out:Unemployment Never Sounded So Sweet – it’s my manifesto for my new life in California
Articles I’m reading:
- An Insider’s Guide to San Francisco
- 10 Years After An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore May Actually Be Winning
- Elon Musk: The World’s Raddest Man
Podcasts I’m enjoying:
Quote I’m pondering: “The simple willingness to improvise is more vital, in the long run, than research.” – Rolf Potts
Person I’m admiring: Alexander Hamilton (yes, I too have been listening obsessively to the Hamilton soundtrack—I know I’m not the only one)
Secret I don’t want anyone to know about: I’m worried that I’ll be a total failure outside of my Chicago safety bubble.
Goal for next week: Spend some much-needed quality time with my wife in my new San Francisco home!
