Notes from around the blogs

A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a splash of humor.

If you haven't checked out my friend Diamond over at A Day in the Zone, go on over and say "Hi". With the coming holidays, she comes up with some tips on dieting and exercise.

Randy, of The Way I See it fame, has posted about his days as a backyard wrestler, complete with photos.

Jen, of Unglazed fame, has shown a side of herself we don't see often enough. Waxing poetic on her post titled Full Moon.

BusyBeeSuz and Happy Wife Happy Life have shared an idea about the environment, as they both linked to a video called The Story of Stuff. If you have about 20 minutes the video is eye opening and very much worth a look see. Suz also relates a humorous story about trying to access the site but putting in the wrong address.

If you've not been over to Jessica's Five Pines blog lately, she is attempting to put together a Christmas card exchange with all the blogging buddies. If you've never been there, check out her photography, family, birds, and dogs. If I hadn't met Jessica, Jen and Shellmo wouldn't be on my list of friends.

I also want to recognize the best comment on my blog this week. It was posted here by Jen in response to my Okay, so I'm mechanically challenged post of this past Sunday. Jen responded with "How many WIXY's does it take to change a light bulb?" The reason I choose this comment is it's totally unlike Jen. But I liked it.

Have a super weekend folks!

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?

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
