Short week short cuts

Labor Day has passed so please put away the white shoes and lower the gasoline prices. Price of gas jumped 20 cents a gallon last week. Went down .05 and then up another 10 cents. Give me a break. I drive 46 miles one way to work.

The blog, Media Matters is updated again. Two new and insightful posts have written in the past week. Feel free to comment, let the students know how you feel about the issues this dedicated instructor has brought to light. The students aspire to become the media of tomorrow. Help them out by telling them how you feel.

Remember my wife, Kathy tomorrow, as she goes in for arthoscopic knee surgery. If you are one of my several prayer warrior friends, this occurs at 9:00am(EDT). We're hoping that this will be the extent of what she needs for now. St. Thomas Hospital in Akron, where the procedure is being done, is an excellent facility.

This weekend, the Rittman Indians Marching Band will be performing at the St. Vincent-St. Mary band festival. Try as I may, I have no idea who else is going to be there. Besides St.V-St.M, of course. So downtown Akron will get a taste of the loudest announcer in Northeast Ohio(tm).

Remember, school is back in session. Drive carefully.

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?

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...
