I guess I shouldn't have played hookey

This morning we got up and decided that we would sit out from church since we had a very busy past week or so. So I left the house and drove my sister to her church. Next stop was a new thrift store in town where I bought a few items then had to gas up. I parked at the pump, was going to insert my debit card, and start to pump. Cliff note: Hooray for modern technology! Then my cell phone rang. Cliff Note: Boo to modern technology. It was my son. Adam needed a ride to his church. I gassed up then headed for Wooster and took him to his church, then did some other things for him. By the time I got to Rittman, it was time to pick up my sister.

So my morning of leisure never happened.

Now if the church comments have surprised my new Facebook friends who attended Highland with me and remember my foul mouth, be assured that I have changed greatly over the years.

Final Cliff note: One of my next posts will introducing a new friend to the blogosphere.

I love the BOO for technology and the Hooray for technology...life is full of up's and down's.

I hope your new political connections can help you out...and not hinder you. :0

Rev. Angley has informed me that you are a backslider. In order to redeem yourself, you must visit the Cathedral Buffet, and eat some of their fried chicken. Heal!

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?
