I Have a Byline



The Rittman edition of The Post, one of ten community editions of The Post newspapers, from Trogdon Publishing in Rittman, Ohio, took my article of the Rittman Band Show, condensed it, put it on the front page, and gave me the byline.

Thanks to the Post for helping give the band the recognition they deserve. Also thanks for keeping my paragraph in there recognizing Ed Sims, Becky Cline and Joe Magnacca, as they have a tendency to not take the credit they deserve.

One minor correction, and this is my fault more than anyone elses. The photograph, taken by the way, by my daughter Sylva, was of the awards presentation, and was of all the bands. The Rittman seniors receiving their trophy, are in the picture on the upper right.

Support your local band. Rittman tag day is this Saturday, November 4.

P.S. To the Worlds Greatest Band Boosters(WGBB). You are now official with that title. It says so in The Post.

Also: I am now putting in a plug for my friends at the Rittman IGA, where you can pick up a copy of the Rittman Post, as well as the best fried chicken in Rittman.

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...

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
