Post number 400

Yippee!

I was originally going to let this occasion pass quietly, but decided that it needed to be marked.

You may ask why I felt the need to do this. Well, maybe not. Well I did.

You have to realize that I have written 400 posts without the use of any illegal performance enhancing substances(let's hope that caffeine never becomes outlawed.) I have written about performance enhancing substances, with some posts about pro wrestling, but never taken them.

I have never written while under the influence of anything Illegal, or immoral. I have written while under the influence of things that were fattening.

Unlike a certain home run hitter who supposedly has a big head from what people think are performance enhancing substances(he says it's flax seed oil,) I only get the big head when I read my comments section. Keep them coming!

On to 500

Congrats on 400! Been here since the beginning. I cannot believe it is already 400. It just seems like yesterday it was post 50.

As I have always said to you Cliff your post is an inspiration to me and so many out there. It kind of takes me back to an episode or two of the Andy Griffith Show. It is wonderful that something or someone like you still exists in our faced paced, robotic like society. The warmth you generate has nothing to do with our planet having a fever.

Merry Christmas!

WZZP: As always, thank you for all your kind comments. As far as my blog being similiar to the Andy Griffith Show...well, I do have a cat named Goober.

Rich, you've been with me since the start as well. I am always grateful to OMW for his recognition of this blog.

Bella: All I can say about me having way more posts than you is...you have more of a life. But then again, if it weren't for you I would have never tried boiled peanuts or read Valley Girl's blog.

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
