Change in profile photo-Here's why

I am upset because my Cleveland Indians decided to have another fire sale. Mark Shapiro traded Cliff Lee and Ben Francisco for four suspects, err, prospects. This means that the Tribe continues in it's ways of being the farm system for the rest of Major League Baseball. This means that the next major fire sale should occur about 2013.

I decided that I should show my disdain by changing my profile photo. The cap I'm wearing has the number 14 on it. That is Sprint Cup Tony Stewart's number. Tony is one of my favorite drivers and doing much better this year than most had expected.

I've been a fan of NASCAR since 2003 and can now understand why the sport has so many fans. In the past 6 years, I've followed NASCAR closer than baseball, mainly because whenever I turn on a race, I know that my favorite drivers will be competing on the same track.

So...The change in the profile pic shows my discontent in my favorite baseball team, the whimpering wahoos.

GENTLEMEN! START YOUR ENGINES!

I'll send you an Orioles cap, if you want it! Just kidding....

I will DEFINITELY NOT send you a Ravens cap. I might lose you as a fellow blogger friend.

I haven't liked the Orioles caps since they went back to the full bird. I prefer the cartoon bird.

Thanks for the offer though.

Marlins fan here. Only because of the area I live in. I'm not huge into baseball, but I enjoy going to a few games a season. Anyway, both times we won the World Series we had our teams ripped apart so I kind of get where you are coming from.

Well the first time you won the World Series, Jose Mesa did everything but gift wrap it for you. And seeing that the team was put together one purchase at a time, it was fitting that the game winning hit in game 7 was by Edgar RENTarea.

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...
