Ahh friends

I have a lot of fun with my image. It's a part of my overall non mystique. And I do all that for a reason, that being middle aged men pretending to be something or someone other than what they really are is what gives message boards and sites like MySpace and Blogger a not so great reputation. Besides, I am probably the world's worst liar, as in ability to lie. Which is more than likely I never made it as a car salesman.

Well anyhow I sent the picture taken of myself on the WIXYcycle to some people, which included my newest blogging friend, Liquid. Remember, I mentioned this past weekend that she can make the most out of imperfections. Well, Suzanne(her non blogging identity) gave the photo her own personal touch, put an amusing story behind it, and placed it on her Liquid Illuzion blog.

Hopefully this won't scare people away from reading her blogs. But then again it might scare viruses from computers.

But seriously, I'm more than flattered. I saw her post as I was winding down my work day and I smiled most of my way home.

There are times I wish that all the folks I communicate with on the web could all get together in one place and we could all shoot the breeze over the beverage of our choice.

Liquid,
I don't mind it one bit. In fact, I'm greatly honored by it. I will have to reciprocate in about a month by placing a picture of you here.(A note to my readers:Liquid is an attractive woman, so my blog would get the better trade)

Your stories and photos reflect your heart, much like my blog does mine.

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...
