The Morning Chalkboard

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.

February 21st, 2025

I was awoken by an Amber Alert at 1:51 this morning and I tossed and turned for an hour. I had a series of dreams plastered together that had me running around looking for Hazel.

My Friday starts early.

I wonder if I wasn’t a father, would I be pissed that an Amber Alert woke me from a solid sleep?

I hate that we have Amber Alerts, but keep them coming. I could only imagine what the parents are going through while I struggled for one more hour of sleep.

Let’s kick start Friday and hope that child is returned safely.

Not the kind of Morning Chalkboard that you Chalkheads deserve, but the bad moments make the good moments taste much better.

Go love someone
