Catching Up

Another week another byline:Just saw this weekend's edition of the Post, and my article about the WGBB spaghetti dinner was on the Rittman school page. I figure that will be my last byline for at least the next 2 1/2 months.

Calling all fellow baby boomers: Check out Tim Lones' well written blog, Cleveland Classic Media.
His latest post is about all the kid show hosts we grew up watching. It's worth your time to check it out.

I may try my hand at eBay soon. I picked up what looks like an interesting antique at a yard sale today. I was asked by both my daughters and my father-in-law what I was going to do with it. I told them that I was going to sell it on eBay. I didn't get a break on the price after I said that. Next time I go to a yard sale, I will go by myself. That way, I won't have to answer any questions that might come up, and I may get the same breaks others get.

Murphy's law enforcement: As of Wednesday, there's a new traffic light on my way to work. This one is on the corner of rt. 57 and Eastern Rd. This means I have to leave for work a little bit earlier since everybody knows if you leave at the last possible minute most lights in your way to work will be red. Oh well, sleep is overrated and that signal was really needed.

Have a great week.

I had thought the light at 57 & Eastern was always there. I just went through it a number of times while looking at some vehicles at the Premier Pontiac/GMC dealer. I can't imagine what that intersection would be like without a light.

That light was needed. Another place that needs a light is that ramp that leads to Greenwich from 57.

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

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was

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
