Another Thursday, Another Birthday

Today I pay tribute to one of my blogging friends, whom I met via the discussion boards in my pre blog days.

Tim Lones, the brains behind Cleveland Classic Media, hits the big five-oh today.

Tim has a great mind for television and radio history here in the Northeast Ohio area. Tim's blog is a very popular one with the media history buffs. Like most of us, Tim's work is a labor of love. Like most of us reading this, Tim is a committed Christian who loves the Lord.

Tim lives in Canton, Ohio. Sometimes he will go to the Cleveland Public Library or the Youngstown Library to do research on stories he will post. This is very time consuming for Tim as he takes a bus to these libraries. Tim doesn't drive due to coordination problems and poor eyesight. Despite these challenges, Tim puts together a product that is read by many, including many area media professionals.

Right now Tim is in the midst of posting several stories pertaining to Christmas specials of the past.

Go over to Cleveland Classic Media and wish Tim a happy 50th. While you're there take a look at some of his impressive posts.

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...
