Post one thousand

It was almost three years ago
When I started on this blog
Sometimes I write when things are clear
Other times in a fog

I told my friends all about
The things that I would write
Not knowing how they would react
When my words were in their sight

I'd post on things I would know
And just myself I'd be
I know about no one else
But the person that you see

I'd write about my favorite food
And students in the band
And sometimes when I feel real low
You'd come and give a hand

You come from all around the world
Big cities and small towns
Your comments serve to lift me up
Prevent so many frowns

I do so love to promote your work
Your posting is so grand
I couldn't have much better friends
You're best in all the land

My thousandth post is almost done
This poem's almost through
And if you wonder who this is for
You're reading this, it's you!

Cliff Note: Thank you for all you have done to help me get to 1000 posts. I hope to have all the friends I have, and some more, in the next three or so years as I work towards 2000.

When I began to read your blog,
I joined in kind of late.
If I was forced to guess just when,
I'd say around #928.

You have a gift of caring words
Sometimes you post for fun.
I'm sure we'll all be back to read The post numbered 1001!

Congratulation dear Cliff on this 1000 Post..
Please allow me to make this toast:

"Cliff you are a blogger so divine..
Glad you are a friend of all and mine.

You are there to celebrate our each and every good event..
And there to comfort us when we just need to vent.

Your faith in God is a beautiful thing you share..
And you are there to show all that you really do care..

We all feel the same way about you too.
And God says to love all and it is so very easy for us all to love you."

glad to know you too!

Congrats Cliff,
I'm glad I bumped into you early
on in my blog career,
other wise I don't know that I would have stuck around. You
showed me how to put it out there
and that there really are genuine
nice people out in blogville.

I try my hardest to be a friend through my blogging. My number one bit of advice to other bloggers is to be themselves and most of my adult life I've always been the nicest guy around. And having virtual friends like I have here is one of the best benefits of blogging.

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...
