Another Honor

Michele, of Crow's Feet fame, has awarded me with the coveted "E for Excellent" award. I'd like to thank her for this honor. I would also like to pass this award to the following bloggers. Of course you will get the reason for the passage from me.

Struke: The school year is winding down and Struke has used his blog, Media Matters, in a very creative way, allowing his students to give peroidic posts. That, in my mind, is award worthy. Go over and let him know what an excellent blog he has.

Five Pines: Devoted wife, mother, dog lover, and photographer of nature makes for an excellent blog. If you haven't checked it out lately, go over and give Jessica a shout.

Monday Through Sunday: An excellent devotional blog, Melanie does a great job letting us know what life is like in her ever changing world. Check out her musings.

Pat J(at least in my mind) knows it all: As this political season gains steam, Pat lets us know what's happening with his own perspective. Whether you agree or not, Pat encourages comments about his daily statements and sometimes will snap back with his excellent(?) sense of humor. Go congratulate him for receiving such an esteemed honor.

Welcome to My Crazy Life: Proving that neopotism counts for something here, Martha quite often features my excellent grandchildren on her blog. Go there and tell her you appreciate the good job her parents did in raising her.

In the eyes of a five year old: And speaking of my excellent grandchildren, five year old Ben has his own blog featuring his budding photographic skills. Go ohh and ahh his pics.

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...
