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.

Where has the self respect for the profession gone biz?

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.

WZZP and Biz,

If you guys want to contact each other, give me the word and I will send the email addresses out.

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...
