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

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
