Wrapping things up

This will be my last post before I leave for sunny Florida. If I get a chance to use a computer during the week, I will be on for some short updates. I will be taking a disposable camera and notebook with me. I may be able to milk this trip out for a few posts.

Anyway, I want to take a short trip around the blogs and suggest some good posts I have read lately...

One of my new friends, Bella is a registered nurse. A post from her blog "It is What It is," reminds us that medical professionals sometimes can be some of the worst patients.

Pat Jenkins blog "Pat J.(at least in my mind)Knows it all" touches one of my interests, radio, as he muses about whatever is happening to the disc jockey. I also contributed in the comment section.

Another new friend, Stacy, in her My Thoughts blog, invites us to read 38 things about her.

Frasypoo tells us about problems she had when she went to vote this past Tuesday in This and That.

Pilgrim's Scrawl chronicles about Pilgrim taking stock as he was preparing for the possibility of Hurricane Noel hitting his area.

Tim Lones posts in Cleveland Classic Media the 1959 schedule for WEWS in Cleveland complete with an ABC promo.


Check all the links on my sidebar, as all my friends are good folks with good ideas.

Update: Since Veterans Day is Sunday, I want to thank all who have served our country. I know that Mike Dane served in the navy and Liquid's father is retired Air Force. If there are others who read this blog, let the readers know by leaving a message in the comment section. we are all proud of the effort you put forth for our country.

Bella,

I got a report from my in laws about boiled peanuts last night. You wouldn't like what they said. But they said they would let me stop for some.

I can guarantee you my mind will be racing about a mile a minute about possible blog posts.

Boiled peanuts will be one of the first.

I've not ever been much of a fan of boiled peanuts. Some friends of mine in the Charleston, SC area actually recommend boiled peanuts in Coca-Cola...

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
