ESPN
I must check this at least 5 times a day.
The best site for fans of the 2006 NBA champion Dallas Mavericks(oops). I guess I meant 2007.
Chicago Marathon
I am really going to try this year.
The best training site for runners that are starting out or training for the 30th race.
Helps to sort out what NBA deals can be made with all the bizarre rules of the salary cap.
Another good general sports site.
Every move in the Texas Rangers minor league system is analyzed on this great site.
Chicago Museums and Cultural Institutions
Chicago Historical Society
I can't wait to see the renovations to one of my old haunts.
Oriental Institute
Every year my students and I go see their fabulous collections on Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Just about every time I ask my older son what he wants to do on a day off from school we end up here.
Has some really interesting information and exhibits.
CNN
If you are a news junkie like me this is one of the places to go.
Still the gold standard of newspapers.
Another good source if you want an update on news throughout the day.

The Onion
Headlines range from the sublime to the ridiculous but thery are almost always funny.
Planning to become President, plot out your strategy here.
Home Star Runner
Incredibly silly but frequently quite funny cartoons.
So You've Decided to Be Evil
If you deceide that you want to take over the world there is some helpful advice here.
Got something that you don't want then put it on here and people will tell you the stuff they are trying to get rid of.
The Daily Show
One of the funniest shows on TV unfortunately often brings humor to our own leaders failings.
