A few observations on my part

About the picture: The picture above my profile link is what I looked like on Christmas Day 1976. I thought I would have some fun and place it there at least for the next week.

Whats the matter, slow day? As I left work this afternoon, I decided to listen to what Trivisonno had to say. Somebody had taken his special gold microphone. He has one of his own because he is a germophobe. Well, our boy Mike supposedly grabbed his briefcase during the 3:30 news break and went home. I then listened to the next half hour as Paul Rado and Alison(she doesn't give her last name, but in case you are curious, it's Pucci) played detective, and were trying to find out what happened to the missing mike. After the 4:00 news I turned on my mp3 player as I got two new audiobooks yesterday. Which leads me to my next observation.

One of the recordings I received was "The 360 Degree Manager" by John C Maxwell. I heard a quote I like-"A bulldog can beat a skunk anytime, but he knows that it's not worth it." I thought about the way everybody razzes JimOhio-pick a number- on the message boards. It used to bother me how folks treated him but I now realize that he must like the abuse he receives. So some folks waste perfectly good insults when dealing with him. Some use the message boards to vent, others to reminisce, I use them to communicate. Jim is annoying but generally harmless. You go off on him after he posts some nonsense, he probably gets some degree of satisfaction.

Right with you brother! on the JimOhio[insert number here]matter. Sometimes it is so tempting though!

Once again Triv proves that his show just isn't what it used to be. I can't believe I say this, but bring Kim back. At least there was some sign of intelligence. Rado is pretty okay though. Allison has been a mistake, and someone at TAM needs to face up to that point. The first thing TAM should do to reform Triv is pull her off the air. When Triv is on vacation her weaknesses really show through. Kim could hold her own without having to have Triv there. Okay I spent too much time already talking about that show.

I have to agee with wzzp. Triv's show continues to decline. Instead of fostering the love/hate (mostly hate) relationship between Triv & Kim which made for funny radio they decided to silence her and eventually fire her. I still maintain that was the "jump the shark moment" I still listen to the show on occassion but not as often nor as long as I used to. Seems like the same boring stuff. Rado is weak and Alison sounds like a high school kid. Certainly not high caliber talent for a 50K watt station. Too bad, I used to be a fan.

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

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

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
