Snow delay

Here in northeast Ohio the saying goes "if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes", or as some like to say "move a few feet". I left work at 1:30 this afternoon and in Cleveland, visability was zero. I got down the interstate a few miles and the road was wet. Only problem is I was out of washer fluid in the WIXYmobile, so I had to make a trip to Wallyworld to get a gallon.

As I type these words, the Indians game is in snow delay, top of the fifth, two outs, bases loaded, tribe leading 4-0. Perfect football weather. So I have the game on, with the sound down, playing with one of my new toys, a headset microphone. Who knows, maybe I will go into the wonderful world of pod casting. Stay tuned. You might soon hear an audio version of "WIXY's Gone Bananas".

Had to run out. By the time I came back home the ballgame was called because of the snow. And so starts the the home season for the 2007 Cleveland Indians.

In case I don't get back to the keyboard until the beginning of the week, have a blessed Resurrection Sunday. Remember don't worship the Jesus on the cross, or in the tomb. I worship the Jesus in my heart.

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?

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...
