Rittman Wins! And the band wasn't there

You read this right. The Rittman football team snapped a 27 game losing streak by scoring 27 points en route to a 27-0 shutout of Conotton Valley. The band hadn't been scheduled to go along this weekend, so I didn't have an eyewitness account of the action.

Congratulations to the young men of the Rittman football team.

Cliff Note: Sunday Musing will be posted later today.

Conotton Valley may very well be one of the smallest football playing high schools in the state..If Rittman is going to beat anyone it should be Conotton Valley..Serously though, Congrats to Rittman for the win..I see Rittman will be playing my high school, Magnolia Sandy Valley, in two weeks..Dont get too confident now..

The amazing thing is my daughter said it wasn't that the other team was that bad, it was that our team was actually pretty good for a change. This is also the first time in over three years we've had a Freshman, JV and Varsity team!! That kind of says something about the old coach..hmmmm...
See ya Friday!!! (where is Sandy Valley anyhow??)

Sandy Valley is about 10-12 miles south of Canton..From Rittman, youd problaly start on Rt. 30 East to 77 South..take the Route 800 Cleveland Avenut South Exit and follow rt. 800 till you get to Route 183..They'll be a small shopping area..make a left on Rt. 183..The School will be on the right hand side..Hope this helps..

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...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

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?
