The Morning Chalkboard

Just a typical Chicago guy juggling fatherhood and bachelorhood. I’m an old trading floor broker who drives around in Francine the Ford Flex and lives by the river. Most of these stories are life lessons meant to make you laugh, cry, and think. The “Chalkboard” is a daily post scribbled on the blackboard in my kitchen ... it has become my morning ritual, a bit of therapy and a small win to start the day. All Chalkheads are welcome to ride along.
