Today we were joined by Judith, Steve and Jenny from the YMCA of Metro Chicago.  We’re overhauling their online program registration and have a big release coming up.  The development teams have been running around like mad the last few weeks trying to get this huge project out the door.

Judith and Steve always seem to schedule their meetings to coincide with the lunch hour.  And it sounds like they invented some reason to come back tomorrow.  Something about “finding bugs”.  Sounds sketchy to me.

For our non-profit friends, Ellen prepared a salad featuring avocado, tarragon and spinach with a balsamic-orange-shallot reduction.

Ellen served the salad with scallops purchased from Isaacson and Sons, about the closest thing Chicago’s got to Seattle’s world-famous Pike Place Market (subject of the popular business management book When Fish Fly).
