Some notes

First a shout goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Tim Lones, congratulating them on their 15th wedding anniversary. Tim's blog, Cleveland Classic Media, has undergone a face lift with a new template and it's looking really good. And a thank you to Tim for placing a link to my blog on the message board at the Big Chuck and Lil' John fansite.

Next shout goes to Ohio Media Watch, as the Mighty Blog of Fun(tm) was a little late in celebrating it's second anniversary. That blog has helped inspire other blogs, including this one.

To my friends that enjoy my Christian viewpoints: My other blog "Seek Him First" has it's first post since January. The post was inspired partly from some comments I heard from Dr. David Jeremiah as I was getting ready for church, and partially from the tone of the service at my church this morning.

Last note: The picture on the post below is indeed me. I had thought it would be somewhat funny if I took a picture of the WIXYcycle next to the motorcycles. The people at the establishment thought it would be funnier if the picture had me sitting on the WIXYcycle. So an unidentified biker chick took my picture with the WIXYcam, then someone from the establishment took a picture for their bulletin board.

Cliff,
Unrelated to this blog, but I was curious of your thoughts on Joe Magnacca quitting Rittman to go to Wadsworth, and what the future will hold for our school now. Not to mention how good he was to the band.

First, It's a good move for Mr. Magnacca and as far as I'm concerned, Wadsworth is getting a good administrator.

Now as far as the future of Rittman Schools is concerned, I feel the writing is more and more on the wall. I feel eventually there will be consolidation of more than services with Orrville as we are sharing the Superintendant.

The other possible scenario is Butch Ullman returning as high school principal, a position he held prior to 1996 when he became superintendant.

Joe will be missed, as he was a good disciplinarian(at least two of my children wouldn't have agreed with me when they were in school).

Hopefully the new principal will realize regarding the band-if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I agree, I really like Mr. Magnacca and hate to see him go. We'd heard rumor of Orrville's Assistant Principal coming over. Guess we'll find out soon.

Never boring, our little school, never boring!!!

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...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

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...
