Cliff Notes

First you may wonder why I put the notation Cliff Note on some of my posts. My answer, no special reason, except to either point out something or change the subject.
Cliff Note:It has nothing to do with Cliff's Notes, which I never based a book report from. When I was in school, most of the time, I made them up. the statute of limitations have long run out.

Congrats to one of the newest friends: Daisy was one of the runners up for post of the day on David McMahon's authorblog. The post was from Dancing With Daisy called What is Going on in My Yard When I'm Not Looking. Also at Smiling With Daisy, she is doing some neat things with pictures of the two presidential candidates, Obama and McCain. Check it out.

Announcing Bella Builds a House: Yes it's true. Our very own green nurse, Bella is going to build a house, along with her husband, of course. But will it be a greenhouse? Will Clark Kent become Tim"the tool man" Taylor? Will crazy nurse come by and offer expertise? Stop by, and cheer her on and give moral support. She's an important part of the family.

And a great thank you to all who have given me encouragement in my writing of poetry, something I wasn't aware I was talented in. At the risk of being a little braggadocios, go over to my Whattville blog if you haven't been there.

There are some new friends I hope to introduce in the next few days. I hope you go to their places and admire their work. Check out others if you haven't in awhile. Give a word of encouragement while you're there.

ghost dansing: You are correct in the radio station reference. They also had a broadcasting school in the same building as their studios. I attended the WIXY School of Broadcast Technique in 1974, hence the name 74WIXYgrad.

I also had a cousin attending Kent State in 1970. He was no where near the action during the riot.

I don't know about me being good and exciting, but I've never been a disc jockey. Here is an example of my announcing work:

Thank you! In less than two months, I will be back at my perch as the "voice of the Rittman Indians Marching Band."

I get excited about it because I have a good product to get excited about.

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

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...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
