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.

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

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?
