I like Michelle Dawn because.....

Michelle Dawn is the brains behind Rusin Roundup. Right now she is going through some struggles with some health issues among other things. I felt that this is a good time to write about her and promote her blog.

Michelle Dawn is one of the bloggers from Terre Haute, Indiana. She is always good to give me props, so I try to return the favor. Her husband, Randy, also writes a blog.

When I was first introduced to her blog, she had mentioned that she worked in retail. I asked her where, and she told me Wal-Mart Supercenter, to which I replied "oh the Evil Big Box Store." She shortened it to EBBS for her own usage, and since left employment there.

Michelle is a good friend to those around her, such as Sindi and Stacy, as well as a good mother to her two children. And she is a real good friend to those of us that she comes in contact with on the blogs. I have gotten numerous awards from her as well as being featured in her now defunct blog, Rusin's Reviews. This past weekend, she went out into the snow and wrote some of her favorite bloggers names in the white stuff, which she featured in photos on her blog. Mine was one of them.

Another thing we have in common was our friendship with Liquid, aka Suzanne. Michelle created her own tribute photo, as well as writing some tribute posts. I know that Suzanne also thought the world of Michelle.

When my brother passed away last March, Michelle was quick to offer me comfort in the way of comments here and emails to me. She also posted something in Ricky's online guest book.

Michelle Dawn has a flair for the fancy, evidenced by the design of her blog. She is also quick to share her world to us through her photography.

There are other times when she will cook and give us her recipes and photos of what she has prepared. With cooking like that, I wonder why her husband, Randy, is such a skinny person? I look at these photos and wish that Terre Haute was less than 6 hours away from my house. Kathy and I would come over for supper.

Go on over to Rusin Roundup and see for yourself that Michelle Dawn is a very unique blogger. And give her a word of encouragement. I'm sure that she and Randy would both appreciate it.

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
