Blind Date(book)

03.18.2009

The Bite:
Do you kiss by the book? Just make sure it's your book - the House of Doolittle's new dateless planner helps you keep things on your terms. This 160-page, letter-size, spiral-bound calendar's blocked by time not date, so you can chart in only the days you need to plan out (and skip, say, Mondays) - plus there's room to jot down all those phone numbers. HoD's also upped other office-y paper basics - wall cals to multicolored scratch pads - to 100% postconsumer recycled paper (all the more trees to canoodle under), uses only soy-based ink for printing, and recycles its old print plates into car bumpers. Book it now.
Wanna Try: 
House of Doolittle; available at Atlas Stationers, 227 W. Lake St. Map It (866-892-4515). Daily Planner, $17.

Cocktail Fact

Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott met on a blind date - which Coretta nearly cancelled, thinking a Baptist minister wouldn't be much fun.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy a planner made with recycled paper instead of new paper, we'll keep 85 mature trees standing.
