Let's rock and roll!

I thought that I would bring out my inner rocker with this classic by the J. Geils Band.

For us in the US of A, this is a short week, and I want to start it off with a bang!

That's one of those songs where, if you aren't tapping or singing along or on your feet...man, check your pulse!

I've seen a lot of 70's and 80's bands live, but missed J Giels somehow. their concert sounds like party!

I went to a J. Geils concert once and although they are a great live band I ended up having to leave the concert because of some inconsiderate concert goers. First was because the guy behind me was so drunk he spent the majority of the concert trying to keep his beer down and rather than get a backfull of Budweiser I vacated my seat. Second was due to the amount of Wacky Weed being smoked in the old Richfield Coliseum. I am highly allergic to that crap and ended up out on the concourse trying to breathe. A deputy told me to go back and sit down and I told him why I was out there and asked why didn't they do something about all the pot smoking. His reply was "What do you want me to do, arrest the whole place?" I that point I left and never went back to see anything at the Coliseum ever again.

Funny thing though, the ushers could always keep a handle on the cigarette smoking at the Cavs games.

Concerts at the Coliseum got themselves a bad rap, especially after Led Zeppelin.

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...

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?

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...
