Some days don't go as planned

Woke up yesterday morning and had to go to Ashville(south of Columbus) to run some things to WIXYjr, who was spending the weekend at his aunt's house. I went by myself, so it was the WIXYmobile making the trip. Trip down went without a hitch, a couple of stops to stretch my legs and gas up.

WIXYjr suggested we go for some lunch, so we headed to Circleville and ate at Arby's. Upon leaving the restaurant, much to my horror, we saw that the WIXYmobile had a flat. Needless to say, we had to take care of it, so the balloon spare went on, and off to the Wal-Mart across the street. You see I didn't want to drive 150 miles on a balloon spare with no backup. I'm crazy but not nuts.

I also had a headlight out, so I had to get that fixed, as the police sorta frown on your car winking at them.

Kudos to the TLE(tire and lube express) folks at the Circleville Wal-Mart. Even though I spent more money than I had planned that morning, and spent more time away from my wife than I really wanted to, the folks there took good care of us, and made our time there enjoyable. Plus father and son were able to spend some quality time together.

My wife was upset that we didn't spend any time together, and I can understand that.

How was your Saturday?

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...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing. The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

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?
