Featured Blog-All Things Cleveland

As most of my readers know, I live about 40 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio, and work on the east side of the city. My blogging is a result of my activity on Cleveland area message boards. One of the message boards I occasionally post on is the Cleveland.com television board. One of the other posters is one who calls herself "tvspy." She is also a very active blogger and knows her history of Cleveland. One of several blogs she has written is called All things Cleveland. All things Cleveland is a very well written, well designed, blog. If you want to know about my home area, you should pay her a visit.

Also on her blog is a link to several other blogs she has written, one is about the history of US route 20, and others are about the Law and Order television shows. All are interesting blogs. Take some time and check them all out.

Cliff Note:Being a lady and married 33 years is the only thing she has revealed about herself, which is probably a smart thing, given some of the folks that visit those boards. Then again, not everybody have the character of those who read my blogs.

Hey all, thanks for stopping by my All Things Cleveland blog. It's nice to know there are people out there that read it!

Anyway, I do keep rather private - but I will tell you that I'm 53 - not 33(must have a typo somewhere). I used to be a director at a large Cleveland company but retited a few years ago. I try to keep in touch with people in Cleveland by blogging, but have also made a ton of new friends around the world with my Law & Order blogs. It amazes me how many fans there are. But, blogging really just keeps me busy and my mind sharp.

And 74wixygrad, thanks for the welcome. You have a great blog here and I plan to visit often.

All Things Cleveland:
You had mentioned that you have married for 33 years. That was what I was referring to.

Given the nature of the folks posting at Cleveland.com, I never try to pry and those who have revealed themselves to me and no one else, do not get revealed to anyone even privately.

I have noticed that your other blogs are quite interesting and I will have to tell my wife about your Law and Order blogs.

It's also nice to have another blogger around who's close to my age.

And you'll also find out that I like to tell my readers when others have good content.

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?

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...
