Back on standard time

So we "fell back" last night. That means it will get dark an hour earlier, which means I will go to work when it's dark and get home when it's almost dark. So much for me learning how to play golf. I'll give this blogging thing a shot.

Congratulations to Medina Highland, of which I'm a 1974 graduate. The Hornets won their playoff football game against Avon Lake 35-23. Now the 10-1 Hornets go into the next round this weekend against Powell Olentangy Liberty, who are 8-3 and have a stupid name. Olentangy sounds like a primate at the zoo. GO HORNETS!!

As far as the other Wayne County football teams, they are doing the same thing as Rittman this week, which is nothing. Triway, Waynedale, and Norwayne all went down to defeat this weekend.

This week I will attempt to do in my fifties, what I've done in my twenties, thirties, and forties, and that's work a second job at least for the holidays. I have an interview at Kmart Tuesday after I get off work. WIXYjr asked me why I didn't apply at Walmart* and I figured if I got hired on there, I would have to change a whole bunch of posts on my blog, as I'm sure many store managers would take too kindly to my terminology for their fine establishment. Besides what would it do for my credibility as a blogger? I also figure what helps for me is I could help in a pinch wearing a certain red suit(ho ho ho.) I could also work on my mic skills.

I just figure Walmart* management wouldn't be too crazy to have someone working there who has referred to their establishment for at least two years in a blog and other internet forums as Evil Big Box Store(tm)#2966

I see, MrP, that Powell Orangutan Liberty is located near C-bus, which makes it closer to your neck of the woods than mine. The Patriots and their faithful also have a long drive this weekend to Ashland.

Good luck with your interview. I like shopping KMart because the one in our neck of the woods is never busy, and they basically have the same stuff!! So you'd probably see me this season!

Have a GREAT day!!

Good luck on the job interview. Hopefully I will get another job again soon and it defiantly won't be at the EBBS. LOL

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

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
