Great Poetry Read



This past Saturday, Kathy and I had the great pleasure of meeting Diane Ferri, of Coexist fame. She was reading from her Liquid Rubies chapbook on the patio of Visible Voice Bookstore in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland. Diane was one of several who read their works and by far, the best we heard that evening.

While we were waiting for the reading to begin(we arrived about 30 minutes early) I took a look around the store. This place is a book lover's paradise, especially if you would be interested in the history of the region. If you live in the area, you should check it out for yourself.

May I also suggest Horizontal Books on nearby West 25th Street near the Westside Market. A former student of my father is one of the owners.

50% off retail 1 book
60% off retail 2 books
70% off retail 3 books

And then you can go get a brat or gyro afterward at the market! Or get some blood tongue or pigs feet.

Sounds like a good time. I love those local bookstores. And there's nothing wrong with a little "culcha".

Well, I appreciate all that - but I've never quite seen my mouth take that particular shape!! :) I agree that Visible Voice is a terrific store and worth the trip. Thanks, 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...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
