December 15th, 2025

 Some ties never change.

I never expected I would bury my parents so early in my life, but reality hit the first time I needed them and they were gone.
I believed hard work and integrity would guarantee security. They don’t.
I took those vows on the last Saturday in September of 2004
fully intending to love that girl forever.
My firstborn never recorded a quarterback sack,
but his autism made me a better man, and a better father.
Technology shut down my trading floor and canceled my morning newspaper delivery.
I still drive to a job with the remnants of the old floor,
and I might not have a newspaper, but I have a chalkboard.
Success isn’t determined until we are long gone. It will be the historians that determined if we met all expectations. Until then, we need to keep it real between the sunrise and sunset times in the Morning Chalkboard.
Life isn’t fair, but that should never stop us from doing the right thing.
