We’re making progress! My new business direct phone number is: 312-768-7450. FYI – it is a VOIP phone system. I’m wondering who will be the first person to call me on that line?

Also, I had a good lunch today with Patrick Flanagan, Director of Product Management – SmartProducts, for ShopLocal, which is located here in downtown Chicago. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable about business related to Internet technology, he is a cancer survivor, and a phenomenal stringed instrument musician! I have the privilege of performing with Patrick at our church, as well as in a bluegrass band called Damascus Road. Loads of fun!

Thanks for sharing Chipotle with me today Patrick!

Added October 3, 2008: And the winner is… Corey Wilkinson! The first person to call me at my new office number! Thanks Corey!
