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.

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?
