From the Pressbox:Senior Night

Last home football game was played last night against the Dalton Bulldogs. Due to some mitigating factors, the crowd was somewhat sparse tonight. The (worlds greatest) band boosters were in full force, as they were also readying themselves for the band show tonight.

Halftime: Due to the field being somewhat soggy because of constant rain for the past few days, both bands stood by the open end of the field, and took turns playing their halftime selections, first Dalton, then Rittman, one by one. Dalton had one of their students announcing, and she had made a mistake, and felt bad about it. I told her that tomorrow she would be the only one that remembered it. Then I made a deposit into my own memory bank when I announced the wrong song. It's been four years since I've done that. I gotta take my own advice.

Special note: Brookside was originally scheduled for tonight's band show, but had to cancel their appearance. Their band director had a mild stroke last Friday. Keep him and his family in your prayers.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...
