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.

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...

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...
