And on some serious notes...

For my out of town friends who were wondering: WTAM/1100 afternoon host, Mike Trivisonno come through his procedure for prostate cancer fine, but time will tell how the recovery goes. He plans to be behind the microphone Monday afternoon.

Triv had called in during his show on Friday afternoon. He had made the comment that even the folks who hated him had sent him well wishes. He may had known that I had written a post about him, as I did have a hit on Thursday originating from the Cleveland Clinic. Even though some of the forum posters think I'm a hater, that is very far from the truth. I continue to wish the best for Mike.

Do you know what your children are up to online? I had heard something very disturbing from my daughter. She had said her 16 year old cousin was writing some very raunchy things on his myspace page. It had some very obscene language and many drug references. This page is password protected and his parents could not access this information. My opinion is that I think this is wrong, that parents should have access to what their children are doing online. My wife plans on telling her sister about this in the next couple of days. I believe that parents have every right to know what their minor children are up to.

Cliff:
I agree:Triv does need our prayers that he will get through this ok..

Oh another note:It is very tiring to read on Cleveland.com boards the "know it alls" about broadcasting that find it fashionable to constantly rip those who have some success...Off soapbox..Take care buddy and have a good one..

Wishing Triv the beast of health as well, Cliff.

AND, you're right about parents having the right to know what their child is doing on line. Takes a lot of work on the parent's part, but it is so necessary!

The net is a very powerful thing.

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...
