Some thoughts escaping my head

Happy Presidents Day: Only thing I can say about that is I could use some more pictures of dead ones in my wallet.

I will try to get the WIXYcam out in the next couple of days as there is a flood warning for the County in which I reside. There is a creek about 1000 feet from my house that gets pretty high in those circumstances. In case you are interested in knowing about the news in my area, click on the Wooster Daily Record link located on the WIXY News Stand block on my sidebar.

New friend, Chelle is doing a great job in posting a letter a day and a picture corresponding to it on her Life is What You Make it blog. If you've not been over there, why not? Today is "F" for Family. In this post, Chelle also reveals that she has a masters degree in psychology so if nothing else, she understands us.

Legacy of Laughs: Those who have been with me for awhile know I like my iTunes and I get podcasts all the time. You also know I like mine free(if it's free, it's for me!) The podcast I am enjoying most nowadays is called Legacy of Laughs. It's a collection of old time radio programs, featuring such people as Bob Hope, Martin and Lewis, George Burns and Gracie Allen, and Red Skelton. The link I've given goes directly to a podcast of Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. You can get a new podcast every week from iTunes. As the website states, "A good joke is timeless." And as I say a good new joke is usually a recycled good old joke.

Now I'm off to look for websites devoted to businesses from days gone by.

ok wixy... the secret is out. I do understand you and as the old saying goes (modified somewhat)..
"If I can't treat 'em, join em!)
Just joking, I take my job very seriously but sometimes, as with any job, you have to find some humor in it or you will be of no good to those that you are trying to teach/help.

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
