Late start today…. I was summoned earlier this morning to fix blankos that turned into a request for snuggles. It was something I couldn’t refuse. After a soft rendition of “Rainbow Connection” my favorite daughter was sound asleep. Sound asleep with a tight grip on my arm.
Typical Chicago guy who happens to be juggling fatherhood and bachelorhood. An old trading floor broker that drives around in Betty the Green Blazer and lives by a river. Most of the stories are life lessons that will make you Laugh, Cry and Think. The "Chalkboard" is a daily post from the blackboard hanging in my kitchen. It has become my therapeutic tool that starts the morning with accomplishment and a positive beginning to the day. All Chalkheads are welcome to enjoy the ride.

November 25th, 2023
So the chalk hit the board as daylight creeped into the kitchen.
Not much going on in the Divorced Dad District this weekend. This afternoon we are going to get our annual picture with the CTA motorman. The line is too long for Santa and we are a railroad family. It is more fitting to snap a shot with the guy in the overalls and engineer cap.
Oh and take the Christmas train through the city as well.
I hope you find a nice tree today. The snow tomorrow will make it feel Christmassy when you’re decorating .
Big game at that school up north. I’m an Old Woody Hayes fan, so I root for the classier of the two football teams….
Hang on sloopy………
