Ladies and gentlemen, we have direction

During my lunch break today, I got to writing in one of my spiral notebooks and going through this, and my Whattville blog. I now have a sense of direction for my book.

The title, for now, will be Welcome to Whattville. So far I have picked out about a dozen of my poems, some of which will be edited. I plan on giving some background as I introduce the poems. There may be some of my other posts in the upcoming book also.

I think I had been going about things the wrong way as I was looking at my posts from the beginning, August 26, 2006. Today I looked at yesterday on back. That's the direction I needed.

So soon be on the lookout for Welcome to Whattville, or whatever I decide to call it...

Congratulations on taking a few steps toward creating something new! I find it harder and harder to find the time and inspiration - although you have just bumped the inspiration part up a notch for all of us. Looking forward to whatever's in Whattville!

Ben, I think we all inspire each other with our comments. I was also inspired by the encouragement I received by my fellow bloggers in the past couple of weeks.

A few positive comments go a long way.

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...

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...

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?
