I like Jessica because.......

She's a nature lover.....
An avid book reader......
A proud band mom....
A dog lover.........
A fan of winged creatures......
A devoted wife and mother......
She's Jessica!
Jessica first joined the bunch on my birthday, October 30, 2007, letting me know hers was two days later. That gave me a great vehicle for introducing her to everyone who hadn't yet seen her excellent blogs.

I met Jessica via Frasypoo and our common bond was marching band. It's common knowledge that I announce for the Rittman marching band here in Ohio. Jessica's daughter, Jordan is a drum major for her school's marching band. Another coincidence is both schools nickname is Indians.

Jessica's husband Craig, is a very good mechanic, something Mrs74 wishes I was. So she doesn't have to worry about having transportation in summer or winter. It's also convenient because they love to go snowmobiling, something I'm sure they did a lot of in the past couple of months.

Jessica has a real interest in birds as does several other blogger friends. You can go to her blog often and see her latest find from the friendly skies.

Another thing that keeps me coming back is the adventures of Seadra and Zoe, her two dogs. They look so innocent, but they only know what lurks in their minds. Hopefully they learned their lesson last fall about hanging around skunks.

This past Christmas season, Jessica organized a Christmas card exchange. It was through this exchange that I was introduced to Pigeon, a fellow northeast Buckeye. And it was via this exchange that the recipients got a poem from me that I did not publish on any of my blogs.

Visit Jessica at Five Pines, or willimakeadifference.blogspot.com. And I will tell you again Jessica, you have!

I love Jessica's blog! She has inspired me to learn more about birds, and to buy a better camera with a zoom lens. (for taking better close ups of the birds) She's the best.

Oh, I'm so sorry Clif... I hadn't seen this. I'm so glad that you told me to look for it. I was out of town last week and missed it. I should have known something was up because when I got home I had several new friends comment on my blog and they said they came via you but I figured it was from the bird poem you did the other day.

It's amazing to me that you can remember such details like when I first commented on your birthday and so much about my family, etc..... It's great knowing there are people out there like you.

Thank you AGAIN Cliff!

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
