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

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
