A great preview of Spring

I noticed at about 6:40 this evening that the sign at the National City Bank in bee-utiful downtown Rittman said it was 68 degrees. I noticed that as I rode past on the WIXYcycle, my 2 wheeled, human powered, chosen mode of transportation this evening. Hopefully I will be on the WIXYcycle often in the coming months as I have to get rid of some excess baggage I've picked up of late.

Driving home from work, I had my window all the way down and it felt great. Once again, Mrs74WIXYgrad, and I discussed getting her a MrsWIXYcycle. I hope it happens, as it's easier to ride when you're with someone.

For the record, it's 7:30 as I type these words, and yes, I am now sore. C'mon, I'm 51, am overweight, have arthritis in my right knee, and the left one is not original equipment. But it's a real good sore.

I had to mention my evening exercise, as the Danemeister mentioned his morning constitutional in his blog today. And Danemeister was right when he said yesterday that he wasn't my best friend. That honor belongs to Mrs74WIXYgrad aka my wife, Kathy. But it makes me feel good that he gave me a congratulations on our anniversary.

I have Inside Edition on, and they are talking about Regis Philbin and his upcoming triple bypass surgery. Say a prayer that Regis won't be giving his "final answer" any time soon.

Happy anniversary!!!!

I can only E-mail from work now, as my old computer finally joined the realm of recycled parts.

Maybe one of these days I can HAVE an anniversary.

Good to see you on the mend, too.

God bless you, my friend!

Maybe not your BEST friend, but a good solid acquaintance. Maybe I'll
load the bike up some weekend and
head down that way for a ride to...
Hertzler's. Yeah!

Mike-

It was a combination of age, and too much smoking around it. When my IT guy took it apart, you should have seen the inside! Yuck!
And just think, my lungs probably look 1000 times worse!!

I do need to quit these things(cigarettes).

As an aside, are you going to send Q104 a tape and resume?

No I hadn't even given it any
thought. The one I'd like to try
for is at WNIR, then I can flap
my yap and get paid. LOL
By the way is the IT guy going
to try and resurrect the computer
or are you going to get a newer
one?

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?
