Automobile University- A great place to beat the blues

I've about given up on getting much useful information from the radio on my commute to and from work. That's a sad thing for me to say, especially since I have a number of folks who read my words that are either current or former radio station employees.

But motivational speaker Zig Ziglar has given many the following idea- Turn your car to Automobile University. I spend about as much time in the WIXYmobile everyday as I would in a classroom if I would be taking two college courses.

Last night I loaded into my trusty mp3 player "48 Days to the Work You Love", the weekly radio program hosted by Dan Miller and Tim Knox, originating from Nashville Tennessee. I am one who is always looking for ways to expand my horizons and keep my options open. Even if you aren't looking for a new job, this podcast will give you new ideas on enhancing your present situation. If you happen to feel stuck in your current J-O-B then the podcast might be something you might want to look into.

Also being someone who likes Christian teaching programs, I will load "Proclaim!" the Moody program, as this week they are featuring a message by E.V. Hill given at Founders Week in 1980.

Many complain about what's on the radio. With the help of modern technology, I am doing something about it, at least for myself.

I understand what you're saying and
I think what you're doing is great.
I bought an after market radio/CD
player for my car and I listen to
CD's more than anything else.
It also has a plug for an mp3 player if I ever buy that Zune I have my
eye on. Almost makes me wish I had
to commute. NOT!

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...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...
