I want to see good in you

In you I want to see the good
If others don't, I think they should
Things that make some folks impressed
Seeing that will make me blessed

See things that will make me smile
A smile that I might stretch a mile
See good things that make me grin
On busy days I can fit that in

If good things are seen by everyone
It might make life a lot more fun
Everyone could have a smile
An everlasting fashion style

I can't write a poem to save my tush. Good going.

Nice Cliff. It's good to see the good in others.

"Everyone could have a smile
An everlasting fashion style"

Let me see if "gurgle" will let me post to my own blog now:

Leesa, I was surprised to find out I was able to write poetry less than a year ago. I was given quite a bit of motivation by our mutual friend David McMahon. Thank you for your compliment.

Syd, I don't like being around those who look at the world through crap colored glasses, that's like I like all my friends here.

Michelle, I would love it if the latest style would become a smile. We could put your latest facebook photo on the cover of Smile Quarterly.
A very nice positive poem!

LOL@ Leesa for saying "tush."

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?

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...
