  1. Overcoming obstacles: Or, what I learned from a cactus

    I was climbing a gorgeous rock formation in Arizona the other day, holding my 6-year-old's hand, when my foot slipped and my butt made acquaintance with a cactus.
    I was climbing a gorgeous rock formation in Arizona the other day, holding my 6-year-old's hand, when my foot slipped and my butt made acquaintance with a cactus. This was not one of those tame, domestic cactuses. It was an ornery, feral succulent...

  2. Phil Vettel: Two stars for Found Kitchen

    The last time I stepped inside an Amy Morton restaurant, it was March 1990, when Morton, daughter of legendary restaurateur Arnie Morton, had a pleasantly quirky Old Town restaurant called Mirador. It was a cute place, decorated with framed mirrors and eclectic artwork, and the food was very good, especially under chef Debbie Gold, now making foodie headlines in Kansas City, Mo.

  3. Do emotions have a place in the office?

    If everyone was just like me, the entire office would be made of Belgian chocolate and we'd watch movies all day, stopping only occasionally to nibble on the walls. Unfortunately, my workplace is like everyone else's: made of bland, inedible materials...

  4. Psst: Be more flexible. Pass it on

    I've read about how important it is to be agile in today's workplace. So I tried typing that first sentence with my toes while balancing on one arm atop a cubicle wall. I fell twice and sprained my ankle. Fortunately, that's not the kind of agile that...

  5. Dawn Turner Trice: Dance instructor takes steps to overcome illness

    You might find Cescily Washington teaching a dance class at a Chicago public school, standing before her young students dressed in her black leotard with her hair pulled back into a bun.

  6. Worst-kept secret in town

    Can a restaurant be a hidden gem if everybody knows about it?
    Can a restaurant be a hidden gem if everybody knows about it? A road-less-traveled location and understated-to-a-fault exterior haven't prevented 6-week-old La Sirena Clandestina (which means "the hidden mermaid") from pulling in crowds to its Market...

  7. Iliana in Wonderland

    At one point of a dinner at Elizabeth restaurant, I was served a dark and rich maitake-mushroom tea (really a clarified broth) while a pure-white device on the table played Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit." Which made me think that chef/owner Iliana Regan is a smidge older, or a ton hipper, than I'd supposed. Probably both.

  8. Phil Vettel: Two stars for Embeya; One for Jellyfish

    Two Asian restaurants with impressive credentials opened exactly one day apart: Embeya, a West Loop Vietnamese restaurant made its debut Sept. 11; and Jellyfish, a Gold Coast pan-Asian opened on the 12th. They're ideal for their neighborhoods; Embeya offers chef-driven focus, and Jellyfish is such a party-ready, eye-candy spot, it ought to be wearing heels.

  9. Don't be afraid to hire people with disabilities

    One of the best experiences of my life was watching Jamie Smith, a young man with autism, leave his routine in Chicago, travel to the Special Olympics World Games in the chaotic Chinese city of Shanghai — and succeed.

  10. Controversial address vaults Hopkins' Carson into political arena

    Dr. Ben Carson says he didn't anticipate the reaction to what he considered his common-sense remarks as keynote speaker this month at the National Prayer Breakfast.

  11. For better or worse, coach and GM tied together

    Bears general manager Phil Emery and new head coach Marc Trestman celebrate birthdays just a day apart from one another. That's one of the nifty — dare we say synergetic? — connections between the two men. Sadly, they weren't born in late May or the first few weeks of June. That would have made them Geminis, of course, sign of the twins. No, they're a couple old Capricorns, which means they're depicted as goats with fish tails, not the greatest image for football.

  12. With this line, an uphill climb

    The Bears have been running up a down escalator on offense for so long, they apparently can't help but feel they're on the verge of reaching the top.
