Back to work today

I am getting ready to go to work after a one day break, which really only served to mess up my system. I slept yesterday until 8:45am and today had to get up at 2:45am. And I'm expecting a cold white ride into work today.

If you get a chance, check out Struke's latest post over at Media Matters, where he comments on the best and worst commercials of 2007. He really appreciates comments, as he uses his blog as an educational tool for the students he teaches in his high school media classes. And while you're at it check out the posts below, which contain work from some of his students.

And finally this is in response to Kasper's(Michelle) comment on my last post-Blog about what you know. We are all unique people and what you write will be of value to someone else. I have only received only a few unkind comments and those were expected because last August I took on a local radio personality. 99% of the comments I receive are favorable and I have only had to delete one comment because of the spirit in which it was written. The writer of that comment? Me. Check out some of my posts from September, 2006 where I was looking for a direction for this blog to go into and you will see things that I wouldn't write nowadays, but it's part of the learning experience.

Have a great day everyone.

Hi, Cliff!!!

You're right. We're all unique people and the dark moments are parts of our experiences.

Thank you for the advice. I'm still finding myself in a way & hopefully I will get my blog where I want it to be.

It is our uniqueness that make us special. If everyone was alike it would be a boring way to live.

Indeed, Cliff, growth is a wonderful thing. But what has amused me in my lifetime is, that growth sometimes takes us backward.

Hope you and yours had a wonderful new years!

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...

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...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...
