Quickies for a Tuesday

My creative well is dry today so I am going to just touch on some news items.

First-Next performance of the Rittman Marching Band will be this Friday at the Rittman-Northwestern football game. To be fair, the young men who comprise the Rittman football team, while putting together their best effort, most of them belong on a junior varsity squad. This is a largely freshman team and it's feared that too many injuries may bring a premature end of the season. Give them an "A" for effort, but also pray that no one gets hurt too badly. End of editorial.

The Rittman Indians Marching Band will also be participating in the 36th Sailor Marching Band Festival this Saturday in Vermillion. As this is the evening before the annual Woolybear Festival, the master of ceremonies for the show will be Dick Goddard of Fox-8 in Cleveland.



Mrs74WIXYgrad update-My wife Kathy has had a setback in her recovery from knee surgery, and her specialist has grounded her. He has also said that she can't return to the work she has been doing as a home health aide. that's a shame, as she really likes what she was doing.

One last thing for now: I had referenced Ray Glasser's excellent website, the WIXY/1260 Tribute site last week. I have this for all radio junkies. Ray has put together a real good links page at his site, which includes other tribute sites and message boards. Click here to check it out. Have a great week.

Please extend my get well wishes to Mrs. WIXY. Being a home health aide is a thankless but necessary job. Home health aides are angels in so many ways. My Mom relies on them for my diabetic Dad who can't walk anymore. He needs an aide to get him out of bed by using a mechanical lift and then he is put in a chair. Aides give my Mom a much needed break on weekends when she needs to go grocery shopping and run errands.

Please let her know that I value her work because I know how special they are.

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...
