Catching up

Due to circumstances beyond my control, such as the WIXYmobile blowing a brake line(Try driving on 77 during evening rush hour with a blown brake line. At any time, the median strip would have become my best friend.) I've been away from blogging this past few days.

From the "too often I can be wrong department:"

Idol shocker? America voted, and Melinda was sent home last night. You may ask why. I think the reason is a complex one. Melinda was probably the most talented of the final three, but as I looked at it on Tuesday, it was too close to call. I know I said last week that I thought Blake would go home but he definitely brought his "A game" to the show. If any one looked weak, it was Jordin. Melinda will have a good career ahead of her, but her Idol run is over.

Elliot Yamin let his hair grow out and gave a good performance last night. I wonder if long curly hair(with some talent) would have made him American Idol last year? Not that I have anything against someone with prematurely gray hair.

Thanks Mike. I will consider in the next few days whether or not to get a new WIXYmobile, as my mechanic has told me that I will need all my brake lines replaced. Northeast Ohio winters, you know. that, and the WIXYjrmobile needs alot of repairs.

Cliff,
I'm w/ Mike, glad you are OK.

I was very suprised to see Melinda get voted off. But my votes belonged to Jordin since day one!

Just a reminder. There is a band concert tonight at 7 at the H.S. And the Jazz Band concert next Tuesday. I will be putting together a MySpace for the band boosters here in the near future. Will let you know!!

Thanks for all your support Cliff.

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...
