Oh well, vacation's about to end

Tomorrow is first day back to work from vacation. I think I had a somewhat productive one, even though I didn't get as much accomplished as I wanted. I did however get about 14 of my photos posted on the Red Barn site. And three of my posts and two of my photos were published in the Northeast Wayne edition of The Post. And I got plenty of sleep the past week.

C'mon Cavs: The Cleveland Cavaliers being in the NBA finals brought memories of the first season that the Cavs played in the Richfield Coliseum, 1974-1975. The playoff chances of the Cavaliers went down to the last day of the season(they lost to the Kansas City-Omaha Kings that last game). The last home game their chances were still alive and they were scheduled to play the New York Knicks. The Coliseum was packed that night(I was there), and the crowd was noisy. I'm sure that Newsnomore was also in attendance, as he was employed there at the time. I bought tickets for myself and my younger brother, and the only seats we could get were one right behind the other. The most ironic thing about this was that the day I bought my tickets, unbeknownest to me, was the same day that tickets went on sale for the Elvis Presley concert.
My brother, who is epileptic, had a seizure that night, and I was very impressed with the response of medical personnel. I sent a letter to the Coliseum stating my pleasure with the medics and I got a letter from Nick Mileti, thanking me for my kind comments.

I was there as the crowd went wild. The man sitting next to me started shaking me, he was so excited. In short, the Cavs won and I couldn't talk for a couple of days afterward.

I am sure that there are those who can't talk today. Maybe some who can't hear either.

As I am going back to work tomorrow, I may not be blogging as much. But I was glad to be able to get this week of rest in.

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...
