From the Pressbox:Dalton

Last night the Rittman Fighting Indians took on the Dalton Bulldogs. Dalton took the opening kickoff down the field for a touchdown and that set the football pace for the evening.

The Rittman Indians Marching band took a fairly new show into halftime, starting with a song made famous by Enrique Martin Morales, also known as Ricky Martin. Of course in an attempt to throw off the announcer , it was mentioned in the script that he played the lead in "Les Miserables". Okay, do I look like a Broadway buff to anyone? I didn't think so, but I didn't butcher it too bad, at least people were less miserable about the way I said it.

"You Can't Stop the Beat," our majorette feature, was next. The last number for the evening was another new song for the season, "Sweet Child O' Mine," a song originally done by Guns N' Roses which was done as filler on an album, but became their only number one hit.

You now have less than a week to make plans to come to this years Indian Band Revue. Our guests will include Akron Kenmore, Akron Garfield, Crestview, East Canton, Manchester, Mogadore, LOrrville, and Rootstown.

Cliff note: I left the house Friday evening and forgot to put my memory card in the WIXYcam, soI was unable totake any pictures of the action. Oh, and the Rittman football team is now 0-8.

Cliff Note II: Congrats to my alma mater, Medina Highland's football team. The Hornets pulled out a victory against the Wadsworth Grizzlies with a touchdown pass with .4 seconds remaining in the game. The Hornets are now 8-0.

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...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

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?
