Interesting Experience in Chicago Already

Well my wife and I got to Chicago yesterday and what a way to arrive.  We were driving along I-55 when we got caught in this torrential rain.  Now normally rain hitting your windshield at 60 mph makes things pretty tough to see but we were sitting still and I could hardly see.  My wife comments on the trees to my daughter noticing that they are bending drastically.  Then it hit me that I am not in New Jersey anymore and I should be more alert.  The rain slacks up real quick just in time for us to see a tornado forming and making its way to the ground.  It kept forming up to a point and then wo

Chicago LAN and Back to Work

I do not remember a time I have been this stressed about going to work for another company. I have been unemployed for three years (with the exception of a couple of self employed gigs). The day after the Chicago LAN I start back to work with a great company that has been around for a very long time. My title is Floating General Manager and will be working for an international auto auction. I will be traveling and be away all week and then come home on the weekends. Now I have to go and buy a bunch of clothes.

Origin of "Drawing a Blank"

Ok, in reference to my previous blog I felt compelled to find the answer to where the phrase "draw a blank" comes from. So here it is:
Meaning
To fail to recall a memory or fail in some speculative effort.

Blogging Blank

I am sitting here thinking "hey dufus, you have not written a blog in ages".  The reason I haven't is that I am drawing a blank here.  But then how do you actually draw a blank?  I mean, I do not have a pencil in my hand trying to draw something on my computer screen (I learned a while ago that it doesn't work by the way).  I am not using AutoCAD either.  I tried MS Paint but could not figure out how to draw a blank to save my life.  I even tried the little paint bucket.  Is it just as simple as this,________?  Is that really considered a blank?  If you know then fill it in.  Then maybe I w

Always check your toothpaste

I was awakened this morning to a disturbing yelp and ruckus. My wife is running around like crazy and is putting dial soap in her mouth. She is rinsing and spitting, rinsing, and spitting (don't go there Castle). It turns our that she went to brush her teeth this morning and grabbed the tube of toothpaste. The problem is that is was a tube of A&D diaper ointment and yes, she did get started brushing her teeth.
