Around the other blogs

As the long time readers here know, every once in awhile I like to send you over to blogs on my list that you may not know about, especially if they have done good posts lately. I haven't done this of late, so here goes.

Scott and Sue were over at Cornerstone Methodist Church to help with a back to school program last Saturday. They talked about it on the air yesterday and Scott wrote a post about it on his blog. The post is titled "It was only Saturday." He writes that he was lucky to be there. I have to disagree about that, Scott. You and Sue and many others were blessed.

Unfortunately the company that Shelley was selling log cabins for went out of business. Shelley and Greg are now representatives for a new company, Expedition Log Homes. She takes us on a tour at her blog, Building a Log Cabin.

You saw my photos and I hope you got the view from the other side of the parade. Brenda gives us some photos from the World Famous Rittman Sleepwalker Parade in
Snicker*Snicker*Snort. We also see some "art work" demonstrated by the Rittman cheerleaders.

Clean and Crazy just needed to smile. So she posted some photos that will also make you smile, along with her gratitude list that always blesses.

What's a wedding and reception without alcohol? I say it's a good thing. Gin blogs about her non alcohol wedding in her post, titled "I Do.'' I especially like the comments this post inspired.

Please tell us Margaret. In her Z-A Monday post, she features a mystery object. This week the letter is W so she titled her post "What is it?" Check it out.

So if you haven't been around to these blogs go see what you're missing.

Thanks, Cliff. I still don't know what it is. But it has a companion that I will post as a Weird Object Friday!

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...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...
