A few bits

Yesterday I went to the in-laws to spray the apple trees. On my way there, I stopped at the Goodwill. My latest treasure is a cassette tape by Foreigner, a compilation of their greatest hits. That's where I luck out having a cassette player in the WIXYmobile. Good tape too. I think that the real bonus is that "Hot Blooded" is a live performance.

It's also good to have a mother in law who is grateful to us for our help and a real good cook. She sent me away last night with some apple cake made with Splenda. I've been sharing it with some other diabetics here at the shop. I think I'm going to have her make me a whole one to share at work. I feel it's a real pleasure to be able to make the in laws lives a little more comfortable.

If you take a look at the upper part of my sidebar, you will see that I'm trying something new. It will be tentatively called Sunday Musing. I will work on a post all week and schedule it to post early Sunday morning, sort of like the columns you find in the community weekly papers. I normally don't do long posts but I figure that you can take your leisure on Sunday and read this. Please make it a point to visit me this Sunday and also let me know what you think.

One last thing: I still get hits about bananas and sleep apnea, so I included the link to that post in my section on my sidebar dedicated to sleep apnea.

Have a terrific day.

Looking forward to your sunday musings.
It is so nice that you can help out your inlaws with their chores. We will all need someone ONE day.
Karma!!!
I bet your MIL enjoys making the treats and goodies for you...doing for others always brings simple pleasure to life.
Take care, Suz

I spend one day a week with my 82 year old mother-in-law. We do what ever she wants. Sometimes it's chores around her house and other times we just go out for lunch and shopping. I'll look forward to reading your new sunday column.

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...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

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?
