Weekend Notes

A few notes for this Saturday before the Super Bowl. Mrs74, WIXYjr, and I were in the Evil Big Box Store(tm) to get a few items and it was a mad house there. Really a shame to make a holiday out of a bunch of entertaining commercials.

Amias has started a new blog called, The Prayer Hubs. She was astonished at all the response she got from the prayer request she posted on behalf of her daughter Mary Elizabeth. Mary Elizabeth has had surgery and will be going through chemotherapy. Prayer is still needed for that family. And if you have prayed or posted a request on your blog for them, post a link on the new blog.

I now own an official Kinky Shovel(tm Wynn and Wilson Morning Show). I called and looked around and finally found it at Lowes. I can now get some relief for my 53 year old back. What I should do is go on Freecycle and see if anyone has a snow blower they aren't using. I doubt if that's going to happen though.

A new blog on my sidebar is called Awake in Rochester. Awake is a 40 something nursing assistant. Her blog is a potpourri of poems, photos, musings, and other things she has on her mind. Awake is also partnering with Amias and myself on the Prayer Hubs.

People have been asking me who I think will win the Super Bowl. I have this foolproof theory of who's going to win. It's usually the team with the most points. So let's get this nonsense out of the way. In two weeks the real stuff begins, the Daytona 500.

I want a kinky shovel just because it sounds fun!! I stopped watching the super bowl the year my father died, it just wasn't the same. It is still real easy ti keep up on stats, today I am more interested in world things like, oh I don't know the economy. I will follow the prayer hubs sense I do not know how to do the link thing still and let bloggers know to pray. Thanks for taking care of us Cliff you are so appreciated.

"...the team with the most points!"
Love it! I will watch some commercials and that's about it.
I do have a cousin who lives in Pittsburgh, and I've been to Arizona once, so I guess I'm split down the middle as to who I should pull for. :)

Cliff, we had a great message in church today.... all about "Skittles and Gratitude"... they'll have it posted up by tomorrow if you're interested in listening.
www.12stone.com - click on Resources, then Messages. I think you'll like it, even though you wont' be able to see the video clips that Kevin showed along with the message. It was really good.

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...

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?
