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...

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...

30 Years Ago Today........

Kathy and I said "I do." Through better and worse, rich and poor, in sickness and in health, we have been together. I love her as much now as I did March 10, 1979. What follows is a classic post from a year ago. As my long time readers know, my brother Richard passed away last year on March 4. He had spent the last 20 years of his life in a wheelchair and the last 8 living in nursing homes. Kathy had become Ricky's guardian angel after my dad passed away and my mother's health had started deteriorating. On April 4, 2004, Kathy went to the nursing home where Ricky had resided at 5:30am to tell him that our mother had passed away. Here's what I had wrote a year ago: "Ricky liked her first and foremost, because she was my wife. Kathy would take time to listen to what Ricky had to say when others were too busy for him. Ricky knew that Kathy liked iced tea. One time when he knew that we were coming up for a holiday cookout, he made 27 gallons of sun tea. I guess h...
