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...

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?

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
