Makes Sense

I woke up this morning feeling like an emotional wreck. I guess with everything happening, both recently and in the near future, it had gotten the best of me. I got to work today and thought I left my gate card in the MrsWIXYmobile, which I drove yesterday. I had to wait for someone to open the gate for me. I later found my gate card in my duffel bag. I have been dragging along this day also.

I felt better after emailing back and forth with Brenda, who proved once again why she is one of my best friends. I still felt like I was run over and I wondered why. Cliff Note: Check out Brenda's post about her new car from earlier this week.

I went over to see what Bella posted about and saw she was a bit down also. I then turned around and looked at my calendar and saw that the full moon is tomorrow. At one time I worked at a MRDD facility as an activity therapist and I do believe that the full moon has an effect on how people feel. Cliff Note: Bella has posted an amazing photo on her blog. Go take a look.

I then emailed Bella and she concurred with me. One thing that Bella has in common with me and many others that we blog with is we don't pretend to be something we aren't. We let people know when we are feeling good and we let you know when we are down.

Struke referred to me as a super-blogger last night. I appreciate the compliment, but most of the time, I'm not too super. I think that's what endears me to others. Cliff Note: Struke has a few Elvis related posts as well as his winner and his loser of the week.

Hope the blues have gone away by now for you Wixy. We all have days like that, I think. Enjoy your weekend. :)

Cliff,
I do hope you are having a better day today. It looks like it's going to be a BEAUTIFUL day.

Hope you get out and enjoy some of it. A walk @ Silvercreek park would be perfect on a day like today!!! (you know me, walk, walk, walk!!!)

Cliff, you don't giver yourself enough credit! You're an awesome blogger!

I have found, with my own experience, that the effects of the full moon linger a few days before and a few days after.

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...

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...

Big Chuck! a review

Update 01/12/09 : Click here to read a related article on Ohio Media Watch, along with a review of the book. Cliff Note: It's the second article in the OMW post. I spent a good portion of my Friday nights while I was going through my preteen and teenage years watching a television show called "The Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show." In high school, I was on the wrestling and football teams. One of my teammates was a quiet young man named Mike Schodowski. His father is Charles Schodowski, also known as Big Chuck. The book I'm about to review chronicles his 47 years as a part of Cleveland television history. The book tells how Chuck come from a family living in the Slavic Village neighborhood in Cleveland, how he went from working in a foundry on Cleveland's east side, to going into Cleveland television, first at KYW, channel 3 to WJW, channel 8, and how he became a Cleveland icon. Chuck started out as a camera man and went into directing. He was a part of the phenomenon...
