Week is half over

Surgery went fine today. Mrs74WIXYgrad come through fine, even though she started freaking in recovery and they had to get me. That's something they rarely do in recovery, but Kathy needed her security. We're back home now and she's on the mend.

I had to go get a prescription filled this afternoon. I went to the evil big box store and got some other items. On the way home, heading south on 57, there was a Frito Lay step van behind me. We were both doing the speed limit, maybe a couple of miles above. I take a look in my side view mirror and saw this Pontiac Aztec passing the step van. The Aztec also wanted to pass the MrsWIXYmobile. I also see this car coming in the opposite area. As the Aztec is approaching, I notice that a handicapped permit is hanging from the rearview mirror. Two questions then came to mind. The first one was, Is it mental or physical? The next one was, Is this dude on a recruiting drive? I pulled over just in case, but as far as I know everybody made it fine. Don't try that at home. The driver of the Aztec was obviously a moron.

While I was waiting at the hospital this morning, I was working on a new book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey. It's amazing what you can find on the bookshelves at Goodwill. Judging by the condition of the book the previous owner tried to get the content by osmosis. I'm hoping I at least get my 50 cents worth out of the book.

Enjoy the weather.

I wish a speedy recovery for Mrs. WIXY.

I can't stand people who drive recklessly. I sympathize with you on that one since I drive a lot during the week.

I have the 8 Habits on cd. Good stuff. Very simple and common advice.

Speaking of thrift stores, I got a really nice suit over the summer at a Goodwill store on Lorain Road near Great Northern Mall for $20. I wore it today for work. Today was school picture day. I wanted to look good so I wore the suit. I couldn't believe the number of teachers who showed up casually dressed.

Good question, WZZP. And it's mostly the really young teachers that are doing it. I'm not really young or really old. I turn 37 next month. I don't get it.

WZZP, are you a teacher as well? I think WIXY e-mailed that info to me. Would you like to exchange e-mail addresses? We could do it through WIXY, if that's ok with him.

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...
