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...

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?
