It does come back

Today I was going through some email and saw a website that I thought would be a neat one for my favorite morning show to feature on their page as maybe a website of the day. I sent a link to both Sue and Scott about it. Scott Wynn sent me a reply, thanking me for the post I wrote about Sue. Here, with Scott's permission, is an excerpt from the letter:

"Very nice blog on Sue. It really meant a lot. Your perceptions of her are correct, Sue is a very caring soul that I am proud to know, and work with. As great as a talent as she is on the air, she's just as good of a person off the air. Really, really nice stuff Cliff. You made many people's day with that one, including Sue's and mine."

Most of the time, I get a personal message from the one I blog about and those are always special. Very rare that I get this from a coworker. I was also touched that Sue's daughter, Laura, after spending the day traveling cross country(as I heard this morning)took the time to read the post and left me a comment.

I do these posts, one because I do like everyone on my blogroll. The other reason is I like to promote everybody I read.

And speaking of Scott Wynn, he has written a post that's very insightful. It's titled ScottyBurger. I recommend you read it as it may cause you to reflect on similar things. If you go there, leave a comment. We all like feedback.

Wixy, you are a very, very special person. There aren't a whole lot like you in this world and that's too bad!

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...
