So last night I went out for something to eat.
I didn't want to stay out late.
I wanted to eat.
And get home early.
Eat. Home. Sleep.
That was the plan.
So we start walking to my car after a quick dinner.
No keys.
Check the back pocket.
Other back pocket.
Front pockets. Shirt pocket.
Jacket pockets.
Repeat.
Take stuff out of pockets.
Pat back pockets again.
No keys.
It's cold outside.
Back inside restaurant.
ME: "Did you find a set of keys in here?"
NOT THE BRIGHTEST BARTENDER ON THE PLANET: "What did they look like?"
ME: "Keys."
I look around restaurant.
They probably just fell to the floor where I sat.
Nope.
Check the back pockets again...I'm sure they will magically appear there.
They don't.
No keys.
I saddle up to the bar.
I remove everything out of every pocket (I had so much crap with me I was expecting to find a slingshot and a jawbreaker)
Money, wallet, change, cough drops, box cutter, napkins, receipts, paperclip, fireball, notes, etc.
No keys.
I took off my jacket.
I started patting it down...maybe a hole in the pocket lining?
Maybe the keys are in the lining!
They aren't.
I shake the jacket.
I hear keys.
They aren't in any pockets or the lining.
Or are they?
I pat it down again.
I feel the keys!!!
I HAVE THE KEYS IN MY JACKET!!
But where?
I'm befuddled.
And then I spot the secret hidden pocket I never knew about!!
I have a secret pocket!!
In my jacket.
SO TO SUM UP:
I'm the luckiest man on earth. I have a secret pocket so secret that I didnt even know it existed!
Secret pockets are pretty cool.
It's my new place for my keys.

Kids laugh at the lamest jokes.
ME: "What was the funniest thing about Thanksgiving?
DAUGHTER: "When Grandpa starting telling his Jager stories."
ME: "Jager?"
DAUGHTER: "Jägermeister....it's a wicked strong drink."
ME: "And...?"
DAUGHTER: "And Grandpa drank a bunch of it and got really drunk and ended up in the closet."
ME: "Did he move like Jager?"
DAUGHTER: "When Grandpa starting telling his Jager stories."
ME: "Jager?"
DAUGHTER: "Jägermeister....it's a wicked strong drink."
ME: "And...?"
DAUGHTER: "And Grandpa drank a bunch of it and got really drunk and ended up in the closet."
ME: "Did he move like Jager?"

It ain't his fault.
So President Obama was just re-elected.
In the coming four years you might not get everything that he promised.
Unemployment might go up, stock market might go down.
The National debt will increase.
Energy costs will skyrocket.
You probably wont get that free cellphone or free oil he promised.
But please don't blame Obama.
He inherited this mess.
From Obama.

Sandy Aftermath
People still don't have power.
Homes destroyed.
Streets flooded.
A storm that actually lived up to expectations.
It might take years for some people to rebuild their lives.
Billions and billions of dollars of damage.
But this is my blog.
Let's talk about me.
I lost power at my house.
When it finally came back on I had to reset my clocks.
And now tonight is the end of Daylight Savings Time and I'll have to set my clocks AGAIN!
Never forget.
