Hurry up and wait....

First an update on my father in law: He was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. Being Saturday, there wasn't an abundance of help there and there were several discharges today. After Eddie had received his instructions, I was instructed to pull the car around.When I got to the hospital entrance, my cell phone rang. It was Mrs74 and she had told me that her dad wasn't feeling well and the hospital was going to delay his discharge until he felt better. He was discharged an hour later. But he is home now.

This coming Wednesday Mrs74 will be undergoing a knee replacement, tentatively planned as a partial, but the decision between a partial and a total will not be made until during surgery. I may be a bit busy to blog around the end of the week.

Thank you for your well wishes from yesterday's post. I enjoy blogging with all you folks because you all give me the comfort of knowing that all of you are the real deal and even though many miles separate most of us(except Brenda, she lives within 2 miles of me)we can all give each other a well needed pat on the back when necessary.

I'm glad to hear your father in law is home from the hospital.
I hope all goes well with Mrs. Wixy's surgery too.
When it rains, it pours, eh?
Hang in there.

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...

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...

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?
