Staying warm as it's about to get frigid

I was going to call this post quick hits, but I copy OMW's style enough as I try to put out something to inform and entertain those who stop this way.

First a plug for my friend the Danemeister. He's puts out a general blog where he touches areas of interest to him, such as what I try to do in this space. He's also the host of the request show from 9:00pm to Midnight on the Sunday Oldies jukebox. Maybe when I finally get a vacation, I will go to Streetsboro on that Sunday night and take him some Hartzlers. It might sweeten his disposition.

As some of the readers will be nesting in front of their televisions tomorrow to enjoy the big game, my church, the South Main Street Church of God, in Rittman will be having the sooper bowl of praise. The mispelling was intentional, copyright problems, you know. The festivities start with a praise gate party at 4:00. My prediction of who will win the game? You can't argue with statistics, it's always the team that has the most points at the end of the game.

Just took a look at the latest edition of The Post, delivered to my door. Nothing earth shattering. Noticed in the Moment with the Mayor column, Bill Robertson makes mention that some Rittman band members will be participating in the honors band concert tomorrow in Wooster, and I wish them well.

Got my taxes done today, and for once I don't owe the city anything, so they won't get a visit from me at the last minute. I still get taxed 2% in Cleveland, but can only get credit for 1.5% of that for Rittman. Can anybody say taxation without representation? For what the city of Cleveland has done for me, they should be paying me.

Keep warm the next couple of days, and put an emergency kit in your cars just in case...See you later.

You are welcome to stop up
if you are interested and
don't have to bring any of
that good ice cream, but
please let me know ahead of
time so I can clear it with
the boss.
Stay warm.

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 game was
