From the Pressbox: Waynedale

This past Friday was homecoming at Waynedale High School and the Rittman faithful were the guests for their celebration.

The Rittman band was there to cheer on the "never say die" student athletes who suited up as members of the Rittman Fighting Indians football squad.

Before I go any farther I want to confess that I forgot the WIXYcam in my rush out of the house Friday evening.

The band gave their usual spectacular performance in front of packed home bleachers of somewhat unappreciative Waynedale fans. I however got both names right when I introduced the majorette feature, putting special emphesis on Aimee's name. There were a few of Waynedale's crowd that knew a good band performance and let us know with their polite applause.

"Can't Stop the Beat," Ode to a Refuse Container," and "Born to be Wild" were among the selections that were performed before our favorite student musicians yielded the field to the Waynedale Marching Band of Gold.

And our favorite student athletes are still looking for that elusive first win of the season as they went down 49-13 on Friday.

It's too bad the team didn't win, but it sounds like the band made up for it by entertaining the crowd with their music. :)

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?

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...
