Two announcements and a disclaimer....

As stated earlier, there will be no "From the Pressbox" for tonight's halftime show, as I will be "on assignment" at the Promise Keepers event, taking place at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland tonight and tomorrow. I will write a few posts in the days following about it on my Seek Him First blog. I do plan on being at the band show tomorrow tonight, in Sugarcreek at Garaway High School. I will be well travelled in the next 48 hours.

New Buckeye Baby Boomer Blogger Buddy. This blog has a new friend. His name is Doc Lehman. doc hails from nearby, Orrville and has a blog on Word Press. We share a lot of the same interests and have some of the same cultural memories, including racing and music.

And now a disclaimer: I would have given Eric Mansfield's blog the same recognition if he had gone to a John McCain appearance. As I announced earlier this week, I will not use my blog as a political statement. I enjoy the Have I Got News For You blog because Eric is a member of the so called "mainstream media" who is able to communicate with the blogging community. Other media types who blog treat it as a necessary evil and do it because they have to and their writings show it. Eric's writings hint that he enjoys blogging.

Always good to encourage a fellow blogger even if his sentiments may not be what you root for.everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
I thought Eric did a great job.

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?
