It's all about the Hebrew Nationals


This past Saturday, I had some running around to do which involved going into Parma. On my way there I stopped at Marc's on Pearl Rd., in Strongsville. They were giving away free hot dogs as part of the "Dog days of Summer"promotion.

Paul Rado, left, and Marty Allen, two producersof the Mike Trivisonno show on WTAM/1100, and two very nice guys, were on hand to give the free Hebrew National hot dogs, along with iced tea and other snacks.
The two gentlemen were good enough to pose for a photo with me. They also have a pretty good sense of humor about their weight. Marty was concerned about the photo quality. I told him I could probably touch it up after I downloaded the photos on my computer. Marty asked me if I could make him look thinner and I told him this photo made me look thinner.

There are folks who post on the forums and call the Triv show making cracks about the weight of the producers and Trivisonno himself. Doesn't work though, as they make fun of it before others do anyhow. Cliff Note: It's just a juvenile attempt to make one look better than another. And what goes around comes around.

cliff--someone made a comment on rizzo's really big show about how radio personalities have MAJOR weight issues. if you listen to the way guys like rizz and hammer, triv-marty-rado-and female of the day describe their "free food days"--its no wonder. the way hayzoos describes his creations from mallorca to triv and hammer salivates over the blue restauarant, i add 2 # just listening. lol. cheeseburgers in paradise are too lean and cheap for these guys.

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?

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...
