I like Jen because....

"I like your poems
I really do
Sometimes I write poems
Just like you
:)"

Above is the first comments left on my Whattville is on the other Side of the Tracks blog by Jen. She discovered my blogs as a result of Jessica's good word about my blogging. Through Jen, I have discovered many good blogs and she has made friends with those on my list also.

Jen is originally a Buckeye, having lived in Zanesville before moving to Kentucky. She is one of the cabin dwelling bloggers among my friends. She loves nature, as evidenced by many of the photos on her blog, Unglazed. She also has a great, clean sense of humor. Jen participates in a weekly feature called Weird Object Friday and sometimes finds some of the most unusual items to present for this. She will also post devotions on occasion.

Jen is also very resourceful. She makes salvation bracelets that come with a card that explains the reason for all the colors of the stones in the bracelet. And with her resoursefulness, Jen is also very generous. I know this because she had a giveaway this past December of one of the bracelets. Although I was not the winner, she also sent one to my wife as a Christmas present. I also got a present of some bookmarks from Jen. I'm currently using the one with the "Father" tattoo in the book I'm currently reading, "Battlefield of the Mind," by Joyce Meyer.

Jen reads all three of my blogs and leaves comments often.

If you haven't gone to Unglazed, by all means go there. Look around and admire Jen's log home, her humor, and her great photography. Hang around, as she has had other giveaways. And please leave a comment, the funnier the better. Just make sure that she doesn't cut her own hair.

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
