Midweek quickies


UPS delivered my new book today. It's called "No More Mondays," by Dan Miller. This latest work by one of the top career coaches give tips on finding your "values, dreams and passions," and using them to either advance your position in the work you're presently doing, or find your true calling. The book was just released last week, and I am looking forward to reading the nuggets Dan has to share with his readers. I ordered my book through Amazon, but you can get information about this and Dan's other book, "48 Days to the Work You Love" at his website, 48days.com.

Audit Update:The auditor completed his work at our other Cleveland plant today and we passed with no transgressions. It was our first audit since we were acquired by a foreign company. Tomorrow, I will keep my promise and take in the donuts. I may even take in the WIXYcam to show you some of the best donuts around, and some of the best coworkers around.

WIXYmobile Update: Tomorrow the final piece of the WIXYmobile will be put back on, the rear bumper. And by request of Amias and WZZP, I will post some before and after photos.

Struke Update: New videos are posted on Media Matters by Struke and his students. Check 'em out.

New Photo Update: My current profile photo is from 1983 of myself and my oldest child, Martha. The pic was taken in my parent's back yard. Notice the Pepsi Free bottles in the foreground.

WIXY...you are the man. I can't thank you enough for the plugs for my blog. The thing I'm amazed at is the visitor counter. I see I have someone from Canada who checked out my blog. That's my first international visitor!!!! That's exciting!

I like the new photo.

Oh, I am looking forward to your review of the motivational book. I love motivational books. I have books by Tony Robbins and Pat Riley among several others in my collection.

Biz: I would venture to guess the visitor from Canada is Pilgrim aka Warren Peace. A good guy and a good friend.

Is that WIXY in the picture or Weird Al?

"Eat It" was a popular song at the time.

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...

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...

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...
